The elements of “s” and “p” blocks except “d” group elements are called as representative elements because Their outer shells are not completely filled with electrons and The elements get the nearest inert gas configuration by losing or gaining or sharing of electrons.They are chemically active. A few metals, all the non-metals and metalloids are representative elements.“s” block elements are placed at left side and “p” block elements are placed at the right side of the periodic table i.e., representative elements are placed at left and right side of the periodic table.
