Alkali metals are powerful reducing agents because:

The ionisation enthalpy values of alkali metals indicate that lithium should be poorest reducing agent because of its high ionization energy. However, it is the strongest reducing agent among alkali metals. This may be explained because of:

The melting point of most of solid substances increase with an increase of pressure acting on them. However, ice melts at a temperature lower than its usual melting point, when the pressure increases. This is because
