  • s block elements have spherical s orbital as their outermost orbital.
  • Since s orbital can accommodate a maximum of 2 electrons, each one of these elements have 1 or two electrons.
  • These s electrons are lost very easily to form monopositive ions by lsoing one electron in the outermost orbital or dipositive ions by losing 2 electrons.
  • They have low ionisation potentials and low electronegativities.
  • They are good conductors of heat and electricity, excepting H2 and He.
  • They are silvery, shiny metallic substances, (with the exception of hydrogen and helium which gaseous nonmetals).
  • They are malleable and ductile, i.e., we can make sheets and wires from them, (exception: H2, He)
  • They readily form ionic salts with most nonmetals.
  • Aqueous solutions of their oxides are alkaline.
