The p-block of the periodic table of the elements consists of the last six groups minus helium (which is located in the s-block). In Chemistry a group, also known as a family, is a vertical column in the Periodic table of the Chemical elements There are 18 groups in History Carbon, Tin, and Lead, are a few of the elements well known in the ancient world - together with Sulfur, Iron, See also Gold chalcogenides Periodic table Abundance Owing to their high Reactivity, the halogens are found in the environment only in compounds or as Ions Halide ions and oxoanions History Noble gas is translated from the German noun de ''Edelgas'' first used in 1898 by Hugo Erdmann to indicate their extremely low level of reactivity In the Periodic table of the elements, a period is a horizontal row of the table A period 2 element is one of the Chemical elements in the second row (or period) of the periodic table of the chemical elements. Boron (ˈbɔərɒn is a Chemical element with Atomic number 5 and the chemical symbol B.

A period 4 element is one of the Chemical elements in the fourth row (or period) of the periodic table of the elements. Gallium (ˈgæliəm is a Chemical element that has the symbol Ga and Atomic number 31 Germanium (dʒɚˈmeɪniəm is a Chemical element with the symbol Ge and Atomic number 32 Arsenic (ˈɑrsənɪk is a Chemical element that has the symbol As and Atomic number of 33 Selenium (səˈliniəm is a Chemical element with the Atomic number 34 represented by the chemical symbol Se, an atomic mass of 78 Krypton (ˈkrɪptən or /ˈkrɪptɒn/ from kryptos "hidden" is a Chemical element with the symbol Kr and Atomic number 36 A period 5 element is one of the Chemical elements in the fifth row (or period) of the periodic table of the elements. Indium (ˈɪndiəm is a Chemical element with chemical symbol In and Atomic number 49 Tin is a Chemical element with the symbol Sn (stannum and Atomic number 50 Antimony (IPA (Received Pronunciation, /ˈæntɪmoʊni/ (US is a Chemical element with the symbol Sb (stibium meaning "mark" and Tellurium (tɪˈlʊəriəm/ /tɛl- is a Chemical element that has the symbol Te and Atomic number 52 Iodine (ˈaɪədaɪn ˈaɪədɪn or /ˈaɪədiːn/ from ιώδης iodes "violet" is a Chemical element that has the symbol I and Atomic Xenon (ˈzɛnɒn or) is a Chemical element represented by the symbol Xe. A period 6 element is one of the Chemical elements in the sixth row (or period) of the periodic table of the elements, including the Lanthanides Thallium (ˈθæliəm is a Chemical element with the symbol Tl and Atomic number 81 Characteristics Lead has a dull luster and is a dense, Ductile, very soft highly Bismuth (ˈbɪzməθ is a Chemical element that has the symbol Bi and Atomic number 83 Polonium (pəˈloʊniəm is a Chemical element with the symbol Po and Atomic number 84 discovered in 1898 by Marie and Pierre Curie Astatine (ˈæstətiːn is a Radioactive Chemical element with the symbol At and Atomic number 85 Radon (ˈreɪdɒn is the Chemical element that has the symbol Rn and Atomic number 86 A period 7 element is one of the Chemical elements in the seventh row (or period) of the periodic table of the elements. Ununtrium (juːˈnʌntriəm or /əˈnʌntriəm/ is the temporary name of a Synthetic element in the Periodic table that has the temporary symbol Uut and Ununquadium (ˌjuːnənˈkwɒdiəm or /ˌʌnənˈkwɒdiəm/ is the temporary name of a radioactive Chemical element in the Periodic table that has the Ununpentium (ˌjuːnənˈpɛntiəm or /ˌʌnənˈpɛntiəm/ is the temporary name of a synthetic Superheavy element in the Periodic table that has the Ununhexium (ˌjuːnənˈhɛksiəm or /ˌʌnənˈhɛksiəm/ is the temporary name of a synthetic Superheavy element in the Periodic table that has the temporary Ununseptium (ˌjuːnənˈsɛptiəm or /ˌʌnənˈsɛptiəm/ is the temporary name of an undiscovered Chemical element in the Periodic table that has the temporary Ununoctium (ˌjuːnəˈnɒktiəm or /ˌʌnəˈnɒktiəm/ also known as eka-radon or element 118, is the temporary IUPAC name for The periodic table of the chemical elements is a tabular method of displaying the Chemical elements Although precursors to this table exist its invention is A chemical element is a type of Atom that is distinguished by its Atomic number; that is by the number of Protons in its nucleus. In Chemistry a group, also known as a family, is a vertical column in the Periodic table of the Chemical elements There are 18 groups in Helium ( He) is a colorless odorless tasteless non-toxic Inert Monatomic Chemical See also Electron configuration In the elemental form of the p-block elements, the highest energy electron occupies a p-orbital. An atomic orbital is a Mathematical function that describes the wave-like behavior of an electron in an atom The p-block contains all of the nonmetals (except for Hydrogen and Helium which are in the s-block) and semimetals, as well as some of the metals. Nonmetal is a term used in Chemistry when classifying the Chemical elements On the basis of their general physical and chemical properties every element in the Hydrogen (ˈhaɪdrədʒən is the Chemical element with Atomic number 1 Helium ( He) is a colorless odorless tasteless non-toxic Inert Monatomic Chemical A semimetal is a material with a small overlap in the energy of the conduction band and Valence bands However the bottom of the conduction band is The M acro E xpansion T emplate A ttribute L anguage complements TAL, providing macros which allow the reuse of code across

The groups of the p-block are:

13 (IIIB,IIIA): Boron Group
14 (IVB,IVA): Carbon Group
15 (VB,VA): Nitrogen Group
16 (VIB,VIA): Chalcogens
17 (VIIB,VIIA): Halogens
