`Li` has the maximum value of ionisation potential among alkali metals i.e. lithium has the minimum tendency to ionise to give `Li^(+)` ion. Lithium is-

A

Strongest reducing

B

Poorest reducing agent

C

Strongest oxidising agent

D

Poorest oxidising agent

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The ionisation potential value of Lithium is maximum among alkali metal i.e., its tendency to ionise to give `Li^(+)` ions should be the minimum i.e. `Li` should be the poorest reducing agent. But, lithium is the strongest reducing agent. This is due to the largest value of hydration energy of `Li^(+)` ions.
