Answer:
the answer is stated below
Explanation:
alkali metals are good reducing agents because they have one electron in their outermost shell which they are willing to donate to attain stability, and therefore reducing the compound/molecule involved in the chemical reaction
halogens are good oxidizing agents because they have seven electrons in their outermost shell and are willing to accept one more to attain stability and therefore oxidizing the compound/molecule involved in the chemical reaction.
