the s and p sublevels
All the noble elements to the far right of the periodic table have their s and P sublevels in their valence shell filled, hence they are nonreactive.
In an argon atom, the outermost principle level is the third principle level (n=3). The sublevels that are occupied in this principle level are the s, p, and d sublevels. The s sublevel can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, the p sublevel can hold a maximum of 6 electrons, and the d sublevel can hold a maximum of 10 electrons.
There are 8 elements in a period in which only the s and p sublevels are filled. This is because the s sublevel can hold a maximum of 2 electrons and the p sublevel can hold a maximum of 6 electrons, totaling 8 electrons in total if both sublevels are filled.
A horizontal row of blocks in the periodic table is referred to as a period. The sublevels in a period that contain 32 elements are s, p, d and f.
There are five sublevels in the fifth energy level: 5s, 5p, 5d, 5f, and 5g.

The elements that have highest occupied s and p sublevels partially filled are called the representative elements. These include Groups I and II and the last six groups on the right of the periodic table.

Electrons with the greatest energy are found in the outermost sublevels, typically in the s or p sublevels of an atom. These sublevels are farther from the nucleus and have higher energy levels than the inner sublevels.
There are five sublevels in the fifth energy level: 5s, 5p, 5d, 5f, and 5g.
For noble gases, the outermost s and p sublevels are already filled with electrons. This is what gives them their stable configuration and makes them generally unreactive.
The noble gas elements have outermost energy levels with full s and p orbitals.
These elements are called p-block elements because their outermost electrons are in the p orbital. In the groups 13 to 18, the electrons fill the p sublevel in the outermost energy level of the atom, which gives these elements their unique properties.
In groups 13 through 18, valence electrons may be in the s, p, and d sublevels. Group 13 elements have valence electrons in the s and p sublevels, while group 14-18 elements may also have valence electrons in the d sublevel in addition to s and p sublevels.
The s, p, d, f block realte to the filling of the outer shell orbitals. Group 1 and 2 are the s block. Groups 13-18 the p block, the transition metals the d block and the lanthanides and actinides the f block.
