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.
First and 2nd group belong to s-block of the periodic table as their valence electrons are filled in the s-orbital of the atom. Similarly from 3rd to 12th group, elements are related to d-block and also known as the transition elements.ses of Lanthanides and Actinides. 1  They donât find any use in their pure state. 2  They are used in the production of alloys of steel to improve the strength and workability of steel. 3  A well known alloy is mischmetal which is used in making magnesium based alloy (Mg mixed with 3% of mischmetal).
