The element with atomic number 35 belongs to the p-block.

The periodic table is divided into several blocks based on the electronic configuration of the elements. The s-block contains elements with their outermost electron in the s orbital, the p-block contains elements with their outermost electron in the p orbital, the d-block contains elements with their outermost electron in the d orbital, and the f-block contains elements with their outermost electron in the f orbital.

Since the element with atomic number 35 falls into the group of elements with their outermost electron in the p orbital, it belongs to the p-block.
