Main group elements are

  • A.s-block elements only
  • B.p-block elements only
  • C.both s-and p-block elements
  • D.d-block elements only
  • E.4f and 5f-block elements

Answer: C

Main group elements are both s- and p-block elements.

The representative or main group elements are those of groups 1, 2 and 13 to 18, in which the last electron enters an s or p orbital of the outermost shell.

The d-block elements are the transition elements and the 4f and 5f elements are the inner transition elements (lanthanoids and actinoids); neither is a main group. Options naming only the s-block or only the p-block are incomplete.
