Group 1 element reducing power
« on: January 28, 2015, 03:33:09 AM »
Its is knows that group 1 elements have high reducing power because they need to lose 1 electron to become stable and in addition to there low ionization state , but why is lithium the strongest reducing agent among these metals knowing the lithium has the highest ionization energy and smaller radius ??
