P-BLOCK

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 the elemental form of the p-block elements, the highest energy electron occupies a p-orbital. The p-block contains all of the nonmetals and semimetals, as well as some of the metals.
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

★ 18 (Group 0): Noble gases
