Question

The position in the periodic table to which the $Al$ metal belongs :

• A. Alkali metals
• B. Alkaline earth metals
• C. $d$ - block elements
• D. $p$ - block elements

Answer 1

The correct option is D $p$ - block elements

Electronic configuration of aluminium is $\left[Ne\right]3s^{2}3p^1$.

In the above configuration, the valence electron enters into p-orbital. So $Al$ is a p-block element.

Hence option D is correct.
