Q. Representative elements are:

Haryana PMTHaryana PMT 2003

Solution:

The elements of "s" and "p" blocks except "d" group elements are called as representative elements because their outer shells are not completely filled with electrons. The elements get the nearest inert gas configuration by losing or gaining or sharing of electrons. They are chemically active. Elements of s and p block except zero group (18th group) are called representative elements.
