Explain the action of halogen with alkali metals.

Answer»

Alkali metals combine readily with halogens to form ionic halides M+ X- . Reactivity of alkali metals with halogen increases down the group because of corresponding increase in electropositive character. 

2M + X2 → 2M+X- (M = Li, Na, K, Rb and Cs) (X F, Cl, Br and I)
