Expert Solution
Step 1

Reactive metals exist in group 1 of the long form of periodic table. Group 1 is placed at the extreme left of the periodic table.

Inert gases are present in group 18 of the periodic table. The group 18 exist at the extreme right of the long form of periodic table.

Reactive non metals exists at the group 17 of the periodic table, which is the group present at the just left of group 18 ( the inert gas group)
