Which is the strongest reducing agent among alkali metals (in aq. solution) ?

Alkali metal salts are water soluble and ionic in nature. Two factors such as lattice energy and hydration energy decide the extent of solubility. These two factors are opposing in nature solubility will be high if hydration energy is high. Higher will be the extent of hydration if size of the ion is smaller. Hydration of ions is exothermic process.Hydration energy also plays a role in deciding reducing power of alkali metals in solution. Identify the strongest reducing agent among alkali metals in solutions

Which one is reducing agent:

Which one is the strongest oxidising agent among all halogens and why?

Which is a stronger reducing agent among Cr^(2+) and Fe^(2+) ?

This question has Statement I and Statement II. Of the four choices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two Statements. Statement - I: Lithium is the weakest reducing agent among the alkali metals. Statement - II : In alkali metals, ionization energy decreases down the group.
