the periodic table shows the electron configuration for each element based on subshell occupancy. use the periodic table to match the indicated groups with the corresponding subshell or \block\.
group 1 - 2
choose
group 13 - 18
choose
p block
d block
s block
f block
group 3 - 12
lanthanides and actinides
choose

Explanation:

The periodic table is divided into blocks based on the sub - shell that is being filled with electrons. Group 1 - 2 elements have their outermost electrons in the s - subshell, so they are in the s - block. Group 13 - 18 elements have their outermost electrons in the p - subshell, so they are in the p - block. Group 3 - 12 elements have their outermost electrons in the d - subshell, so they are in the d - block. The lanthanides and actinides have their outermost electrons in the f - subshell, so they are in the f - block.

Answer:

Group 1 - 2: s block
Group 13 - 18: p block
Group 3 - 12: d block
Lanthanides and Actinides: f block
