What are representatives elements?

elements from group1-2 ,13-18 are called representative elements. Those from 3-12 form the transition elements!


Why are the groups 13-18 called p-block elements?

Why are elements in the tall columns in the periodic table called representative elements?

Conventionally representative elements are called the chemical elements from the groups 1,2, 13-18. These elements haven't generally variable valencies. The transitions metals are not representative elements.


What is Group A called in periodic table?

In the older periodic table, each group was divided into A & B sub-groups. The only problem with that was that there were two different conventions about which elements were labelled "A" and which were labelled "B". Groups 1 & 2 were clearly 'A' (elements like sodium and calcium) and 11 & 12 were clearly 'B' (elements like copper and zinc). But groups 3 through 10 were labelled 'A' in one convention and 'B' in another, and the opposite labels were used for groups 13 through 18.With the second labelling convention, groups labelled 'A' were known as 'main group elements', and groups labelled 'B' were 'transition metals', and that is still the case.Thus in the newer IUPAC scheme, groups 1, 2, and 13 through 18 are called 'main group elements'.


Why are the main block elements also called the representative elements?

The representative elements are in the groups 1,2, 13-18; the name is given to make a difference toward transition metals.


Which of the following groups of elements are the main group?

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.
