• Elements in the solid, liquid and gaseous states are present in p block
• There are metals and non metals in this block
• There are most reactive elements, less reactive elements and
       noble elements in this block
• Ionization energy increases along a period
• Electronegativity increases along a period
• Metallic nature decreases along a period
