The differences between s-block and p-block elements are:

S-block elements	P-block elements
The s-block elements include the elements of group I A and group II A.	The P-block elements include the elements of group III A, IV A, V A, VI A, VII A and group zero.
They are 13 in number.	They are 32 in number.
In these elements, either one or two valence electrons are being filled in the s-orbital.	The valence electrons are being filled in the p-orbitals of all elements of group III A to VII A. The valence electrons of elements of group O have completely filed in P-orbital.
They show oxidation state of +1 and +2.	They show variable oxidation states.

Write any four differences between s-block and p-block elements.
