The reason why Helium is considered a noble gas is because its outermost (and at the same time only) shell is fully occupied by its 2 electrons.


Main group elements in the first two rows of the table are called typical elements. This 20 piece block set is an interactive way to learn the names of the elements. Transition elements are those whose atoms have an incomplete d-subshell or whose cations have an incomplete d-subshell. Periodic table blocks are an ingredient list of the world around us. Groups 3-11 are termed transition elements. Groups 1-2 (except hydrogen) and 13-18 are termed main group elements.

If you do not see these colours, please upgrade your browser software. To see these colours, however, you need browser software with capable of shading the cells in a table. Elements in each block are colour coded in the background graphics, the periodic tables, and the element pages themselves. This gives the periodic table block in the standard periodic table in which the element is to be found.
