Page 3 :
P-BLOCK, , The elements consists of the last, , six groups minus helium (which is located in the sblock). In the elemental form of the p-block elements, the, highest energy electron occupies a p-orbital. The p-block, contains all of the nonmetals (except, , for Hydrogen and Helium which are in the s-block), , and semimetals, as well as some of the metals., , The groups of the p-block are:, , 13 (IIIB,IIIA): Boron Group, , 14 (IVB,IVA): Carbon Group, , 15 (VB,VA): Nitrogen Group, , 16 (VIB,VIA): Chalcogens, , 17 (VIIB, VIIA): Halogens, , 18 (Group 0): Noble gases (excluding Helium)
