Standard reduction potential of alkalimetals have high negative values. |
|
Answer» on potential is BASED on Ionisation ENERGY ( which must be low), enthalpy of ATOMISATION ( which must also be low)and hydration enthalpy ( which should be high)Alkali metals have very low Ionisation energy which makes it more reducing ( gives away its ELECTRON happily ) so they must have HIGHLY negative reduction potential |
