  2. B Sr
  3. C Na
  4. D Mg
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Rb

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The tendency of an element to lose an electron is measured by its oxidation potential more the value of \(\mathrm{E}^{\circ}\) of an element stronger will be its reducing character. The alkali metals have a low value of ionization energy which decreases down the group and so can…
