Solution

The first group of the modern periodic table contains alkali metals which have following properties.
(1) They are highly electropositive metals and highly reactive. They form ionic compounds.
(2) They form ions in the +1 oxidation state and 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.

Q. Find the incorrect statement:
(1) Higher reduction potential of non-metal means stronger reducing agent
(2) Lower oxidation potential of a metal means strong oxidising agent
(3) Oxidation state of oxygen in

State whether the given statement is true or false.

State whether the given statement is true or false:

Hydrogen peroxide acts both as an oxidizing and as a reducing agent in alkaline solution towards certain first-row transition metal ions.

Q. Which of the following sequence of explanation is appropriate for explaining the reason for the periodicity of reducing property in a period or group?
(a) Tendency to undergo oxidation decreases in a period and increases in a group.
(b) In a period ionization energy increases and in a group it decreases.
(c) In a period the atomic size decreases and in a group it increases.
(d) The elements present in the left side of the periodic table have strong reducing property.
