Brief Explanations
Noble gases have a full octet (eight electrons in their valence shell) and are inert (unreactive) because they have a stable electron configuration. Halogens have seven valence electrons and are reactive. Transition metals have variable valence electrons and are reactive. Alkaline earth metals have two valence electrons and are reactive.
