CBSE Class 12 D and F Block Cheat Sheet

Key Definitions


  • D Block Elements: Transition metals with partially filled d-orbitals.

  • F Block Elements: Lanthanides and actinides, characterized by f-orbital filling.

Important Concepts

D Block Elements


  • Properties: Good conductors of heat/electricity, malleable, ductile.

  • Complex Formation: Form colored complexes due to d-d transitions.

F Block Elements


  • Lanthanides: Elements 57-71, known for their high magnetic susceptibility.

  • Actinides: Elements 89-103, mostly radioactive and used in nuclear applications.

Key Formulas


n = 2n²
  • n: Principal quantum number (energy level)


ΔE = hν
  • ΔE: Energy difference between levels

  • h: Planck's constant (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ Js)

  • ν: Frequency of light

Common Mistakes to Avoid


Common Mistake: Confusing the oxidation states of transition metals; remember they can have multiple oxidation states.

Memory Tricks


Tip: "D-FLAME" — D-block, F-block, Lanthanides, Actinides, Magnetic properties, Energy levels.
