Recall that the periodic table is divided into blocks based on the electron subshell that is being filled with electrons: s, p, d, and f blocks.
Identify the atomic number of uranium (U), which is 92, and note its electron configuration.
Understand that uranium's electron configuration involves filling the 5f subshell, which is characteristic of the f block elements.
Recognize that elements filling the f subshell are known as the actinides and are located in the f block of the periodic table.
Conclude that uranium (U) is found in the f block of the periodic table.
