Alkali metals are good reducing agents​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The valence electronic configuration of alkali metals is ns1. Due to low ionization potential and having the smallest nuclear charge they can easily lose an electron. ... Hence, alkali metals are considered as a powerful reducing agent.

Answer 2

Answer:

Reducing agents are those compounds or elements which can reduce others and get oxidize themselves.

Alkali Metals act as strong reducing agents ,this is because alkali metals have only one valence electron in their valence shell

Hence, It is easy for them to lose a electron and attain nearest noble gas configuration and become more stable than they were earlier.Thus they lose a electron and get oxidize themselves ,hence reducing other compounds.

This makes them strong reducing agent.
