Answer:

Sodium (Na)

Helium

Magnesium (Mg).

Step-by-step explanation:

From the periodic table, we will understand that the group 1 metals are the alkali metal. However, the period runs from left to right on the periodic table while the group runs from up to down in the periodic table. In period 3, the alkali metal present there with one valence electron in its outermost shell is sodium (Na).

The only noble gas exists in the last group, group zero of the periodic table. However, the only noble gas with two electrons in its outermost shell is called Helium

The ALkaline earth metals are group 2 metals. They are usually shiny metals and the ability to lose 2 electrons in their outermost electron shell. The alkaline earth metal located in period 3 is Magnesium (Mg).
