Question

Give reason : Alkali metals are good reducing agent.

Answer 1

Give reason why alkali metals are good reducing agents. ... The alkali metals have low value of ionization energy which decreases down the group and so can easily lose their valence electron and thus act as good reducing agents

Answer 2

Answer:

Alkali metals are good reducing agents because alkali metals have one valence electron which they lose to attain stability. Hence, they themselves undergo oxidation causing reduction of others and are good reducing agents.
