I know the smell is strong, but I love that smell, I guess I got used to it growing up, as we had cabbage quite often, and I love fried cabbage too. I'll be having Corn beef and Cabbage on St. Paddy's Day, can't hardly wait-umm! Windy Â· 7 years ago.
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.
The main group includes the elements (except hydrogen) in groups 1 and 2 (s-block), and groups 13 to 18 (p-block). The s-block elements are primarily characterised by one main oxidation state, and the p-block elements, when they have multiple oxidation states, often have common oxidation states separated by two units.
