halogens and noble gases
Alkali metals (Group 1) have one valence electron, which they easily lose. Halogens (Group 17) have seven valence electrons and readily gain one electron. Noble gases (Group 18) have a full valence shell and are unreactive. Alkaline earth metals (Group 2) are reactive but less so than alkali metals.
