Answer:
The periodic table of elements contains all elements that have been discovered so far. These elements are grouped into 4 major groups as s block, p block, d block and f block. They are categorized according to the orbital where their valence electrons are present. Furthermore, these elements can also be categorized as metals, nonmetals, and metalloids according to their physical properties. All s block elements except hydrogen are metals. Most p block elements are nonmetals. Rest of the elements in the p block are metalloids. The main difference between s and p block elements is that the valence electrons of the s block elements are in the s orbital whereas the valence electrons of the p block elements are in the p orbital.
