Question

In _ _ _ _ _ _ of the modern periodic table, are the non-metals found.

• A. s-block
• B. p-block
• C. d-block
• D. f-block

Hint:

Geostationary satellites are placed at a fixed point in the Earth's orbit over the equator at an altitude of about 35,786 km. These satellites orbit at the same speed as the Earth rotates, making them stationary relative to a point on the Earth’s surface.

Because geostationary satellites are positioned above the equator, they are unable to capture data from polar regions as they remain fixed relative to the Earth. Polar regions fall outside their coverage area.

For polar regions, polar orbiting satellites are used as they can pass over the poles and provide complete coverage of the Earth's surface.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The modern periodic table organizes elements into blocks: s-block, p-block, d-block, and f-block. The non-metals are mostly found in the p-block of the periodic table. • (A) s-block: Incorrect. The s-block elements are metals, and non-metals are not typically found here. • (B) p-block: Correct. The p-block elements include most non-metals such as oxygen, nitrogen, and halogens. • (C) d-block: Incorrect. The d-block elements are transition metals, which are mostly metallic. • (D) f-block: Incorrect. The f-block consists of lanthanides and actinides, which are metals. Therefore, the correct answer is (B) p-block, where the non-metals are found. Final Answer: p-block.
