alkali metals halogens noble gases
solids at room temperature
don’t react naturally with other elements
very reactive nonmetals

Explanation:

1. For "solids at room temperature": Alkali metals (like Li, Na, K, etc.) are solids at room temperature. Halogens: At room temperature, fluorine and chlorine are gases, bromine is a liquid, and iodine and astatine are solids, but overall, the group as a whole has elements in different states, but alkali metals are all solids. Wait, actually, alkali metals (Group 1) are all solids at room temp. Halogens (Group 17): F₂ (gas), Cl₂ (gas), Br₂ (liquid), I₂ (solid), At (solid). But the question is to match the group (alkali metals, halogens, noble gases) to the property. Noble gases: He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn – most are gases, Rn is radioactive solid. So "solids at room temperature" – alkali metals are all solids.
2. For "don't react naturally with other elements": Noble gases (Group 18) are inert, so they don't react naturally with other elements.
3. For "very reactive nonmetals": Halogens (Group 17) are very reactive nonmetals (like F, Cl, Br, I, At – they are nonmetals and highly reactive, wanting to gain an electron to complete their octet).

So:

• solids at room temperature → alkali metals
• don't react naturally with other elements → noble gases
• very reactive nonmetals → halogens

Answer:

• solids at room temperature → alkali metals
• don't react naturally with other elements → noble gases
• very reactive nonmetals → halogens
