Aluminium (Al) is a metal while Sulphur (S) is a non-metal, but even then they both:
Correct answer: A. Belong to the same period
- A. Belong to the same period
- B. Belong to the same group
- C. Are oxidizing agents
- D. Are reducing agents
Explanation
Option A is correct because both Aluminium (Al) and Sulphur (S) belong to the same period on the periodic table. Elements in the same period have the same number of electron shells. In this case, both Al and S are in the third period. Option B is incorrect as Al and S belong to different groups. Option C is incorrect as Aluminium is more of a reducing agent, and Option D is incorrect as Sulphur can act as both an oxidizing and reducing agent depending on the reaction.

About s-Block and p-Block Elements
The s and p blocks are studied through their valence-shell configurations, periodic trends and characteristic chemical properties. Work covers the reactions of Group I and Group II elements, the behaviour of Group IV elements, and how atomic size, ionization energy, electronegativity and metallic character change across periods and down groups.
