"D-block (for diffuse) elements consist of the transition metals (group 3-12 on the periodic table) in which the outermost electron shell is the D orbital. D-block elements form at least one stable ion with an incompletely filled electron subshell. "

That's not true, is it! E.g. the 3D-Block is in the fourth period, that means the outermost electron shell is the 4S orbital! I'll correct it. Hope everybody agrees.


Is ther a such thing as "25-block"?
