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).

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:
