Why lithium is strongest reducing agent

Answers

Answered by muhammedfadilap78nic

lkali metals are very good reducing agents because of their great tendency to lose electrons. The reducing character increases from Na to Cs. However, Li is stronger reducing agent than Na due to greater hydration energy. ... Lithium being small in size has high ionization enthalpy.

Answered by supervegetavscell

It will easily lose an electron from outermost shell like all alkali metals.

Due to its small size it is a better reducing agent than other alkali metals.
