Question;


give reason;


Why alkali metal do not form dipositive cation

Answer 1

Explanation:

Reason;

Alkali metal do not form dipositive cation because after removing one electron from an alkali metal the cation has inert gas configuration.

Therefore it is difficult to remove one more electron as they become stable

Answer 2

Alkali metals are members of Group I. They have only one electron in their outermost energy levels. To be stable they need to lose only that single electron in the outermost energy level thus forming monopositive ions. ... To be stable, they lose these two electrons to form dipositive ions....................!!
