Why are d-block elements not as reactive as s-block elements?
Answer: D block elements tend to have a more stable outer ring of electrons, when you reach D block elements they start adding electons to inner rings rather than outer so the added electrons create more stability. S block however are still lacking electrons so group 1 elements wish to lose their electrons as quickly as possbile making them very reactive, and group 7 wish to gain an electron.
