The false statement is A) because when determining the number of valence electrons in an element, especially for those in Period 4 or below, the transition metals (elements in the d-block) complicate the straightforward counting of valence electrons that applies to the s and p blocks. The d electrons are not typically considered valence electrons in the same way as s and p electrons due to their involvement in bonding and chemical properties.
