Both $(A)$ and $(B)$

Vedclass · Answer

(C) The $s-$block elements are those in which the last electron enters the outermost $s-$orbital.Their general valence shell electronic configuration is $ns^{1-2}$.Option $(A)$ represents Copper $(Cu)$,which has the configuration $[Ar] 3d^{10} 4s^1$. Since the last electron enters the $s-$orbital,it is considered an $s-$block element in terms of valence shell configuration,although it is a transition metal.Option $(B)$ represents Potassium $(K)$,which has the configuration $[Ar] 4s^1$. This is a typical $s-$block element.Since both configurations end in an $s^1$ orbital,both belong to the $s-$block category based on the valence electron criteria.
