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 (except for Hydrogen and Helium which are in the s-block) 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 (excluding Helium)
