Solution

Dear Student

s-block elements includes both alkali and alkaline earth metals. This group elements have very low ionisation enthalpy, i.e. they tend to loose electron easily and are highly reactive in nature.
They are basic in nature (forms hydroxide with water), forms stable halides with halogens, and form blue colour solution in liq ammonia due to formation of ammoniated electrons.
