Home > F-block
The f-block of the periodic table of elements consists of those elements for which, in the atomic ground state, the highest-energy electrons occupy f- orbitals. Unlike the other blocks, the conventional divisions of the f-block follow periods of similar atomic number rather than groups of similar electron configuration. Thus, the f-block is divided into the lanthanide series and the actinide series. Related topics
