Block (periodic table) in the extended periodic table whose outermost electrons are posited to include one or more g-orbital electrons. Block (periodic table) A block of the periodic table of elements is a set of adjacent groups. The term appears to have been first used by Charles Janet.

Each block is named after its characteristic orbital; thus, the blocks are: The block names (s, p, d, f and g) are derived from the spectroscopic notation for the associated atomic orbitals: sharp, principal, diffuse and fundamental, and
