The elements in groups 1 and 2 and helium in group 18 of the periodic table are known as s-block elements. Apart from hydrogen and helium all the elements of s-block are metals.
You may have noticed that there is a large block of elements in the middle of the periodic table - these are the d-block elements. Also known as transition metals, d-block elements are arranged from groups 3-12 and defined by their d-electron configuration, which we'll discuss later on in the lesson.
