Which of the following is a property of alkali metals?
Options
- AHigh density
- BCompounds are paramagnetic
- CForm dipositive ions only
- DMost electropositive elements
Correct answer
D. Most electropositive elements
Step-by-step solution
Alkali metals are the most electropositive elements and have low density. Alkali metals can lose their one valence shell electron and form unipositive ions with no unpaired electrons. Hence, they form diamagnetic compounds.
