Which among the following statement is NOT true?
- A Compounds of unipositive ions of alkali metals are paramagnetic.
- B Alkali metals have low density.
- C All alkali metals are silvery white and soft.
- D Alkali metals are most electropositive elements.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Compounds of unipositive ions of alkali metals are paramagnetic.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Alkali metals are soft and can be cut by knife.
Alkali metals have low density-Lithium, sodium and potassium float on water.
They have low ionization energies and their atoms readily lose the valence electron hence they are most electropositive elements.
Alkali metal salts are diamagnetic.
