Question

why it is easier to remove electrons from a1 alkali metals then 11a alkaline earth metals??? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

I'll explain it as funadamentally as I can,

That's because as you mive to right on periodic table the size of the arom decreases and the smaller the atom size is thr closer the electrons will get to the nucleus, and since electrostatic force increases as the opposite charges are closer it gets harder to seperate them.

And since the alkali earth metals are on the leftest side they're farthest from the nucleus ans therefore it's easier to remove electrons from them.

Answer 2

alkali metals has 1 electron on the outermost shell and alkaline earth has 2. hence the energy required to remove 2 electrons is more than the energy required to remove 1. hence it is more easier to remove electron from alkali metals.

Hope it helps ❤
