Because a strong electrostatic attraction exist between halogens and metals.
The family that combines with metals to form salts is the halogen family. There are other nonmetals that can be mixed with metals to form salts, but halogens are the most common.
There are five halogens found. All of halogens are non metals. Similar thing for all of them is they are non metals.
THey have to be in a liquid state to easily combine
Group 17 (known as Halogens)
Usually halogens are called as salt producers,their electronegativity is high compared to other elements.They easily combine with electropositive metals and result in formation of salts.

Halogens combine with sodium to form salt that we eat.....
The most reactive non metals are Halogens which may combine most of the metals as well as non metals.
any alkaline earth metals
Metals are particularly likely to combine chemically with the halogens you listed, but I will add that almost every element on the periodic table (with the exception of the noble gases) will combine with at least some of the halogens.
For example halogens easily react with alkali metals because both are very reactive; compounds are with ionic bonds.

No. Halogens combine readily with sodium
Halogens form salts by combining with metals. Halogens are in the 17th group of the periodic table. Sodium chloride,Potassium iodide are some examples.
Halogens are not like metals. Halogens are elements missing one electron for full valency.
