3.They are found in sulfides or carbonate state.
4.Extracted by electrolysis method.
5. Examples are sodium, potassium,calcium.

Reactive non-metal:
1.High electron affinity.
2.Accepts electrons.
3.High electronegativity.
4. Examples are Flourine,all halogens.
5.They all have one empty space in their valence shell.
