Solution

The correct option is A True
As the Size of metal atom decreases tendency of losing electron (reducing nature) decreases and the reactivity also decreases because increased nuclear force on outer electrons.


So reactivity and reducing power decreases on going from group 1 to group 2 as size decreases from group 1 to group 2.

So given statement is true.
