The elements in groups 1 and 2 and helium in group 18 of the periodic table are known as s-block elements. Apart from hydrogen and helium all the elements of s-block are metals.
For example, the alkaline metals lie in one group (group 1) and share similar properties, such as high reactivity and the tendency to lose one electron to arrive at a noble-gas electronic configuration. The periodic table of elements has a total of 118 elements.n the s-block and p-block of the periodic table, elements within the same period generally do not exhibit trends and similarities in properties (vertical trends down groups are more significant).
