Uses Of Alkali Metals

Give reasons for the following: a. Alkali metals are soft and volatile. b. First ionisation enthalpies of alkali metals are low.

Alkali metals salts are

The first ionisation energies of alkaline earth metal are higher than those of the alkali metals. This is because:

Assertion : Solubilities of alkali metal fluorides and carbonates increase down the group. Reason : Hydration energies of alkali metal halides decrease down the group with increase in size of cations.

Second ionisation energies of alkaline earth metals are ________ than that of corresponding alkali metals.
