I know the smell is strong, but I love that smell, I guess I got used to it growing up, as we had cabbage quite often, and I love fried cabbage too. I'll be having Corn beef and Cabbage on St. Paddy's Day, can't hardly wait-umm! Windy Â· 7 years ago.
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.
The elements which have partially filled d-orbitals either ground state or in one or more of their ions, are called d-block elements or outer transition elements. Their properties are intermediate between s-block elements and p-block elements. They are more electropositive than p-block elements but less electropositive than s-block elements. They form ionic compounds in their lower oxidation state and covalent compounds in higher oxidation states.
