Question

explain why an alkali metal cannot be obtained by chemical reducing method?​

Answer 1

Alkali and alkaline earth metals cannot be obtained by chemical reduction methods because they are very strong reducing agent and highly reactive metals. Because of this they can not be reduced by any other substance very easily.

By using a stronger reducing agent, the oxides of metals gets reduced by the process called chemical reduction. Alkaline earth metals and alkali metals are strong among the reducing agents. No stronger reducing agent is available than them. Therefore alkaline earth metals and alkali cannot be obtained by chemical reduction of their oxides.
