The alkali metals including Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr
All of the representative elements (s and p block) have predictable electron configurations. However, many of the transition elements have electron configurations that are not predicted by the rules for determining electron configuration.
S block elements are elements that contain their outermost electron in the s shell. S block elements are further divided into 2 groups.
The elements in Group 1 have one valence electron in their outermost s orbital.
The most reactive elements require to lose or gain the least number electron(s) to attain a noble gas structure. These are elements in group one as they need to lose one electron, and elements in group seven as they need to gain one electron.
Sub level is also called orbital.It does not have any degenerate orbital.

S block elements are elements that contain their outermost electron in the s shell. S block elements are further divided into 2 groups.
The elements in the s-block have their last electrons in their electron configuration in the s-orbital.
S block elements are named so bcozIn this elements last electron enters the outermost s orbital(i.e. ns1 or ns2).
The elements in Group 1 have one valence electron in their outermost s orbital.

Only one element has single proton(proton is correct spelling). The element is Hydrogen. It has a single proton in it's nucleus and no neutrons. A single electron revolves around in s subshell of 1st energy shell( K shell). A Hydrogen atom which has lost it's electron can be said to be proton. No other element known has single proton in the nucleus (protons only reside in nucleus of atom) of it's atom.
Elements form ions by either gaining or losing valence electrons. The elements that lose electron(s) and gain electron(s) acquire a positive charge and negative charge respectively. The elements that lose and gain the least electrons require less ionization energy, and are more reactive than elements that need to lose or gain more electrons. For instance, elements in group 1 of the Periodic Table need to lose one electron, and are more reactive than elements in group 2 that need to lose 2 electrons.
They both have 1 outer electron which they would like to lose.

Orbitals don't contain elements. The elements each have specific orbitals based on the number of electrons it has. All of the elements have at least one s orbital. Hydrogen being the simplest element has one electron in the 1s orbital. The s orbital can contain a maximum of 2 electrons.
