elements of 16and 17group are known as chalcogens and halogens
elements of group 18have completely filled valence shell known as inert gases or noble gases.

Answer 2

$\Huge{\blue{\underline{\textsf{Answer}}}}$

$\large{\red{\underline{\tt{S - block\:element:}}}}$

➜ It contains group 1 and group 2 elements.

➜ It contains only metals.

➜ Genral electronic configuration is ns^1-2

➜ Last electron enters in s-orbital.

➜ eg- H, Li, Be.

$\large{\red{\underline{\tt{p - block\:element:}}}}$

➜ It contains element from group 13 and 18.

➜It contains Metals, non-metals, and metalloids.

➜ Genral electronic configuration is ns², np^1-6.

➜ Last electron enters in p-orbital.

➜ eg- He, B, C.
