Group 1 and group 2 elements are called s-block elements
They follow a pattern for valence electrons.
Main group elements include elements (except hydrogen) in groups 1 and 2 (s-block), and groups 13 to 18 (p-block).
Main group elements have elements from groups 1 and 2, except hydrogen and groups 13 to 18. Main group elements are elements in groups who's lightest elements are shown by helium, lithium, boron, beryllium, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine.
nonmetals, alkali metals, and halogens, among others.To be precise it is elements in IUPAC groups 1,2, and 13 to 18 -- otherwise designated as the "s-block and p-block" elements.
The s and p blocks make up the main-group elements, which are also known as representative elements.
S- and p- electrons fill in a regular repeating manner. Hence, elements in the s- and p-blocks have predictable patterns that represent a wide range of properties. Therefore, the s- and p-block elements are called the main-group, or representative, elements. Non-metals, Alkali, Halogens
the elements belonging to group 1 and 2 of the periodic table are s-block elements. it includes elements in which the outermost subshell is s and that have 1 or 2 electrons in their outermost shell.
elements from group1-2 ,13-18 are called representative elements. Those from 3-12 form the transition elements!
They are in the s block. Metals of the 1st group.
They are in the s block. Metals of the 1st group.
Omitting the f-block elements, there are 18 groups in the periodic table. Groups 1 and 2 contain s-block elements. Groups 3-12 contain d-block elements and groups 13-18 are made out of p-block elements. The only exception is helium is named under group 18, being a noble gas.
