Which of the following is a property of alkali metals?
Which of the following is a property of alkali metals?
High density
Compounds are paramagnetic
Form dipositive ions only
Most electropositive elements
Solution
Alkali metals are the most electropositive elements and have low density. Alkali metals can lose their one valence shell electron and form unipositive ions with no unpaired electrons. Hence, they form diamagnetic compounds.
