In group `IA` of alkali metals, the ionisation potential decrease down the group,Therefore ,lithium is a poor reducing agent.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
F
False. In group IA of alkali metals, the ionisation potential decreases down the group. But lithium is very strong reducing agent because of its very high hydration energy.
