Alkali metals exhibit high chemical reactivity Give reason. |
|
Answer» Solution :(i) Alkali metals exhibit high chemical reactivity because of their low ionization enhalphy and their larger SIZE (ii) The reactivity of alkali metals increases from Li to CS, since the value of ionization energy decreases down the group (from Li to Cs) (iii) All alkali metals are highly reactive TOWARDS the more ELECTRONEGATIVE elements such as oxygen and HALOGENS. |
