How does the alkaline earth metals hydroxide basic nature vary in periodic table |
|
Answer» Explanation: The alkali METAL oxides are basic in nature. As we move down the group, the size of the metal ion increases, so the bonding between the metal and HYDROXIDE ion is WEAK. Hence, they can easily lose OH- ion. So, down the group, BASICITY of alkali metal oxides and hydroxides increases. |
