Question
In view of their ionisation energies, the alkali metals are :
Options
A.weak oxidising agents
B.strong reducing agents
C.strong oxidising agents
D.weak reducing agents
Solution
They easily lose valence shell electron because of their low ionisation energies, on account of their bigger atomic sizes. So they behave as strong reducing agents.
