Question
Differentiate between $s-$block and $p-$block elements.
✓
Answer
| $s-$Block elements | $p-$Block elements |
| $s-$Block contains group $1$ and group $2$ elements. | $p-$Block contains elements from groups $13$ to $18.$ |
| It contains only metals. | It contains metals, nonmetals as well as metalloids. |
| The last electron in the $s-$block elements enters in $s$ orbital. | The last electron in the $p-$block elements enters in $p$ orbital. |
| General outer electronic configuration of $s-$block elements is $ns^{1-2}.$ | General outer electronic configuration of $p-$block elements is $ns^2 np^{1-6}.$ |
| e.g. $Na, K, Ca, Mg,$ etc. | e.g. $C, N, O, F,$ etc. |
