The alkali metals follow the noble gases...

The alkali metals follow the noble gases in their atomic structure. What properties of these metals can be predicted from this information?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The alkali metals follow the moble gases. Alkali metals have low ionisation energy and they can easily losse the single valence shell electron and thus show that are highly electropositive in nature.
