The electropositive character of alkali ...

The electropositive character of alkali metals decreases with an increase in atomic number.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
F
Due to the decrease in ionisation enthalpy down the group `(darr)`, the tendency to lose electrons, i.e. electropositive character increases down the group `(darr)`.
