Division of periodic table into blocks   periodic table has been classified into 4 blocks   S block    P block   d block    f block   The division depends upon the type of atomic orbital .which receive the valence electron.   for eg.  Mg the valence electron enter the s orbital .so Mg belongs to s block.   S block : it is present in the L. H. S of the periodic table .in all these elements the valence electron  enter the s- orbital.  so they are called   s block  elements.  so s block consistint of 2 groups   group (1) elements are called alkali metals                  for eg. Li, Na   group (2) elements which soluble in water                           than formed hydroxide and form                            alkali.  for eg.  berillium...
