Differentiate between s-block and p-block elements.

Answer»

s-Block elements:

s-Block contains group 1 and group 2 elements.
It contains only metals.
The last electron in the s-block elements enters in s orbital.
General outer electronic configuration of s-block elements is ns^1-2.
e.g. Na, K, Ca, Mg, etc.

p-Block elements:

p-Block contains elements from groups 13 to 18.
It contains metals, nonmetals as well as metalloids.
The last electron in the p-block elements enters in p orbital.
General outer electronic configuration of p-block elements is ns² np^1-6.
e.g. C, N, O, F, etc.
