D block

D block or variant, may mean:

  • d-block, a division of the periodic table of elements
  • D-Block Records, a hip-hop record label
  • D-Block & S-te-Fan, hardstyle duo
  • Block D, a Soviet rocket stage
  • Block D, a portion of the United States 2008 wireless spectrum auction that was not sold during the auction
  • Block (periodic table)

    A block of the periodic table of elements is a set of adjacent groups. The term appears to have been first used by Charles Janet. The respective highest-energy electrons in each element in a block belong to the same atomic orbital type. Each block is named after its characteristic orbital; thus, the blocks are:

  • s-block
  • p-block
  • d-block
  • f-block
  • g-block (hypothetical)
  • The block names (s, p, d, f and g) are derived from the spectroscopic notation for the associated atomic orbitals: sharp, principal, diffuse and fundamental, and then g which follows f in the alphabet.

    The following is the order for filling the "subshell" orbitals, according to the Aufbau principle, which also gives the linear order of the "blocks" (as atomic number increases) in the periodic table:

    For discussion of the nature of why the energies of the blocks naturally appear in this order in complex atoms, see atomic orbital and electron configuration.

    The "periodic" nature of the filling of orbitals, as well as emergence of the s, p, d and f "blocks" is more obvious, if this order of filling is given in matrix form, with increasing principal quantum numbers starting the new rows ("periods") in the matrix. Then, each subshell (composed of the first two quantum numbers) is repeated as many times as required for each pair of electrons it may contain. The result is a compressed periodic table, with each entry representing two successive elements:

    The Lox

    The Lox (stylized The LOX or The L.O.X.) is an American hip hop group formed in 1994, from Yonkers, New York. The group is composed of East Coast rappers Sheek Louch, Styles P and Jadakiss. They had originally signed to Sean Combs' Bad Boy Records in 1995, before joining Ruff Ryders Entertainment in 1999, and have since launched their own label, D-Block Records.

    History

    Formation and career beginnings (1994–1996)

    Jason "Jadakiss" Phillips, David "Styles P" Styles, and Sean "Sheek Louch" Jacobs, began their musical careers in their hometown of Yonkers, New York. As high school students they formed a group called "The Bomb Squad" and began performing at local shows and producing their own demos. In 1994 they appeared on Main Source's "Set It Off" from the album Fuck What You Think. While the local rap scene was being dominated by artists like Raw Rome, Lord Devon and a young DMX, the group began to gain attention for their lyrical style and ability to present tales of urban life. The group eventually changed their name to "The Warlocks" and continued developing a fan base by appearing on underground mixtapes. One of their admirers was the "Queen of Hip hop soul," fellow Yonkers native Mary J. Blige. Mary passed their demo tape on to Bad Boy CEO Sean "Puffy" Combs who signed them to a deal. At the behest of Combs, The Warlocks would later change their name to "The L.O.X" which stands for Living Off eXperience.

    {I told myself fuhgeddaboutit}
    {Mario, take it easy!}
    [Styles P:]
    Yo, my nigga Poobs on the track
    I'm S.P. the Ghost
    We'd like to welcome you, motherfucker
    To this thing of ours
    Our life is complex nigga
    We the best in the worst position
    (Yeah, figure that out, hahaha)
    Get at me nigga
    Yo; I'm from a place where your man'll shoot ya
    Jails ganged out, but some niggaz is neutral
    Coke price rise, watch shit get crucial
    Niggaz think they Bishop and I don't mean Tutu
    Cause even when it's sunny it's cloudy
    They ain't gettin money so they bummy and rowdy
    Wanna kill you, you come through in your Audi
    Shit is like this from Yonkers to Mount V
    Some niggaz'll count ki's, get knocked rat and bounce free
    What part of the game is a game without G's
    Drive through New York with a few blunts
    Tryin to get paid, they put a new car out every two months
    You can get popped if you want
    Come through the venue, you on the menu cause we on a food hunt
    Still lettin off my two pumps
    Dump reload, dump reload, fuck is it you want?
    [Chorus: Tre Williams]
    If you see what I see, or if you be where I'm from
    Then you know how hard it is, just to survive out here (it's so hard)
    If you see what I see, or if you be where I'm from
    Then you know how hard it is, just to survive out here
    [Styles P:]
    Where I'm from ain't no fuckin pretending
    Frontin like you rich, gettin hit for the pendant
    Clip look small then you better extend it
    I said you got money, now you gotta defend it
    Niggaz sell drugs cause the fiends is dependant
    Sittin on the blocks 'til the cops come and end it
    Jungle is concrete and wild but I bow to Allah beat
    Some don't get to they car keys
    Hit from the P-2000 from them niggaz in Mark 3's
    All I do is spark trees, bag and cart ki's
    Press on the uzi, bullets longer than sharpeis
    And I'm tryin to hit you where your head and your heart be
    What?
    [Chorus: w/ ad libs]
    [Styles P:]
    I ain't got time to daydream (hell nah)
    Reppin my home, hold to the chrome, you the away team
    Catch me pullin off in the Celine
    Chick from Beijing, think about my niggaz that's caged in
    Light blunts everywhere, any occasion
    Stash coke money in my checkings and savings
    Five blunts, two drinks just for the cravings
    I don't even duck when the weapons is waving
    I don't give a fuck, I've accepted my way's end
    Styles didn't do it, I just gave it to David
    He don't give a fuck, he'll cock it and blaze it
    You just came home you get touched with the razors
    Bitch it was all so simple
    Somethin real big pointed at yo' temple
    Coke and the cash, give up that info (where's it at)
    Be a smart man so, you can make it to yo' kinfolk
    [Chorus x2: w/ ad libs]
