Question

Which of the following is not correct for the alkali metals ?

• A. They are soft & can be chopped off with a knife
• B. Have 2 valance electrons
• C. They are Highly Reactive
• D. They are strong reducing agent

Answer 1

The correct option is B Have 2 valance electrons

Characteristics of Alkali Metals

• Found in column 1A of the periodic table.
• Have one electron in their outermost layer of electrons.
• Easily ionized.
• Silvery, soft, and not dense.
• Low melting points.
• Incredibly reactive
• They are strong reducing agent
  
• Have one valence electron.

Hence option B is not correct with respect to Alkali metals
