Write four characteristic properties of $p$-block elements.

(N/A) The $p$-block elements exhibit the following characteristic properties:
$1$. They include metals,non-metals,and metalloids.
$2$. Their valence shell electronic configuration is $ns^2 np^{1-6}$.
$3$. They show a wide range of oxidation states,including both positive and negative values.
$4$. They generally form acidic oxides,although some are amphoteric or neutral.
