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.
Note the Pattern. 1  In oxoanions of the heavier p-block elements, the central atom often has an expanded valence shell. 2  Molecules with atoms that have fewer than an octet of electrons generally contain the lighter s- and p-block elements. 3  Electron-deficient compounds have a strong tendency to gain electrons in their reactions.
