Compare the alkali metals and alkaline earth metals with respect to basicity of oxides.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

asicity of oxides: lonisation enthalpy of alkali metals is less than that of the corresponding alkaline earth metals, i.e., electropositive character of alkali metals is greater than that of alkaline earth metals. Thus, basicity of oxides of alkali metals is more than the oxides of alkaline earth metals.
