Q. Assertion :Alkali metals have high affinity for oxygen. Reason: Alkali metals have greater tendency to get oxidised, which indicates that they are strong reducing agents.

Q. Assertion :Alkali metals are good reducing agents. Reason: Alkali metals are the chemical elements found in Group 1 of the periodic table and have

n s^{1}

configuration, so they have high tendency to loose electron and have complete octet configuration.
