Alkali metals are powerful reducing agents because
- A they are metals
- B they are monovalent
- C their ionic radii are large
- D their ionisation energies are low
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) their ionisation energies are low
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Alkali metals have only one valence electron in their outermost shell. They loose one valence electron easily due to low ionisation enthalpy and get oxidised to reduces other compounds.
