Question

Give me some characteristics of S-Block elements..​

Answer 1

$\huge\bold{Answer}$

__________________________________

$\bold{Characteristics\: of\: S-block\: elements}$

=> They are soft metals having low melting and boiling points.

=> They have low ionization enthalpies

=> They are reactive and readily form univalent (alkali metals) or bivalent (alkaline earth metals) ions by losing one or two valence electrons respectively.

=> They act as strong reducing agents.

=> They mostly form ionic compounds except Lithium and beryllium.

Answer 2

$\huge\bold\red{Answer}$

______________________✍✍✍✍

If the elements were houses in our hypothetical s-block neighborhood, they would be very uniform, each one only slightly different than the other. This is markedly different compared to the other neighborhoods on the periodic table, which have a wider variety of houses in many shapes, sizes and colors.

$\huge\bold\red{Characterstics}$

All of the s-block elements are metals.

In general, they are shiny, silvery, good conductors of heat and electricity and lose their valence electrons easily. In fact, they lose their trademark s orbital valence electrons so easily that the s-block elements are considered to be some of the most reactive elements on the periodic table.
