Explanation Metals are categorized as alkali metals, alkaline earth metals and transition metals . These are present at the left side of the periodic table. The non-metals are present at right side of the periodic table. Example: Sodium and Fluorine. Sodium is a metal. The electronic configuration of sodium is 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 1 . For sodium to be stable it should have completed the octet
