Explanation of Solution
The elements and groups are indicated below,
Alkali metals are 1A group elements (other than hydrogen), Halogens are 7A group elements, Alkaline earth metals are 2A group elements, Transition metals are 1B to 8B group elements, Hydrogen is the first element in the periodic table, helium is the second element in the periodic table located in 8A group. Metalloids are main group elements (which is located in 3A to 8A).
