Explanation:

1. Alkali metals are Group 1 (excluding hydrogen) of the periodic table, matching the leftmost blue column (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr).
2. Alkaline earth metals are Group 2, the second blue column (Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra).
3. Halogens are Group 17, the second-to-last red column (F, Cl, Br, I, At, Ts).
4. Noble gases are Group 18, the rightmost red column (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn, Og).
5. Transition metals occupy the large central block of the periodic table, matching the white outlined section (groups 3-12).

Answer:

• Top-left empty box (Group 2): alkaline earth metals
• Central empty box (Groups 3-12): transition metals
• Top-right empty box (Group 18): noble gases
• Right empty box (Group 17): halogens
