Keyboard graph navigation: press N for concepts or E for relations; use arrow keys, Home, and End to move; Enter selects; Shift plus Enter selects and centers; plus and minus zoom; zero fits; Escape clears the selection. Use the visible viewport buttons as alternatives to dragging, wheel, and pinch gestures.
Select a concept
Select any concept, construction junction, or annotated relation by pointer, touch, search, or keyboard.
Construction junctions are diamonds. They show where multiple structures must coexist on the same carrier and satisfy compatibility conditions.
Move selected concept
Single-pointer and keyboard alternatives to dragging. Each activation moves the selected concept one step.
A conventional region of the periodic table classified by the subshell type whose filling organizes the element's valence-electron pattern, commonly called the s-, p-, d-, or f-block.

identifies the filling block
Authored explanation
Ground-state electron configurations explain the conventional block assignment through the subshell occupation pattern, while exceptional configurations and ion states require the stated convention.
How to interpret this relation type
A theory, law, or interaction describes the behavior of the target within a stated regime. The edge detail must state important limits or qualifications.

partitions elements by block
Authored explanation
The conventional periodic table displays s-, p-, d-, and f-blocks as regions that organize recurring electron-configuration and chemical-property patterns without making every trend exact.
How to interpret this relation type
The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.
