Answer

  1. Lithium (Li), sodium (Na) and potassium (K) are three metals of group 1 having a valency of 1.
  2. Calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr) and barium (Ba) are three metals of group 2 having a valency of 2.
  3. Chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br) and iodine (I) are three non-metals of group 17 which are known as halogens, and have seven valence electrons.
