Which of the following is a property of alkali metals?
- A High density
- B Compounds are paramagnetic
- C Form dipositive ions only
- D Most electropositive elements
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Most electropositive elements
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Alkali metals are the most electropositive elements and have low density. Alkali metals can lose their one valence shell electron and form unipositive ions with no unpaired electrons. Hence, they form diamagnetic compounds.
