Block (periodic table) valence electrons, and, except for helium, are only slightly less reactive. The p-block is on the right side of the periodic table and includes elements from the six columns beginning with column 13 and ending with column 18. Helium, though being in the top of group 18, is not included in the p-block.General valance configration is ns np1-6. The p-block COB This contains variety of elements and is the only block that contains all three types of elements: metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Generally, the p-block elements are best described in terms of element type or group. P-block elements are unified
Block (periodic table) includes ten columns in the periodic table. The f-block is in the center-left of a 32-column periodic table but in the footnoted appendage of 18-column tables. These elements are not generally considered as part of any group. They are often called inner transition metals because they provide a transition between the s-block and d-block in the 6th and 7th row (period), in the same way that the d-block transition metals provide a transitional bridge between the s-block and p-block in the 4th and 5th rows. The known f-block elements come in two series, the lanthanides of period 6 and the
