Answer 2

Metals lose electrons from their lattice to become a positive ions.

• When metal losses an electron it undergoes oxidation and form positive ions.
• When metal accepts an electron it undergoes reduction and forms negative ions.
• Non-metals due to high ionisation enthalpy does not easily lose electrons.
• Alkalies possess low ionisation enthalpy. So, easily release an electron.
• Hence the correct option is a.
