Current Question (ID: 9114)

Question:
$\text{The incorrect statement about alkali metals is -}$
Options:
  • 1. $\text{They have low density.}$
  • 2. $\text{They have high ionization enthalpy.}$
  • 3. $\text{They are highly reactive.}$
  • 4. $\text{They show photoelectric effect.}$
Solution:
$\text{Hint: Alkali metals are most electropositive in nature.}$ $\text{EXPLANATION-}$ $\text{(1) They are quite soft and can be cut easily. Sodium metal can be easily cut using a knife.}$ $\text{(2) They are light coloured and are mostly silvery-white in appearance.}$ $\text{(3) They have low density because of the large atomic sizes. The density increases down the group from Li to Cs. The only exception to this is K, which has a lower density than Na.}$ $\text{(4) The metallic bonding present in alkali metals is quite weak. Therefore, they have low melting and boiling points.}$ $\text{(5) Alkali metals and their salts impart a characteristic color to flames. This is because the heat from the flame excites the electron present in the outermost orbital to a high energy level. When this excited electron reverts back to the ground state, it emits excess energy as radiation that falls in the visible region.}$ $\text{(6) They also display a photoelectric effect. When metals such as Cs and K are irradiated with light, they lose electrons.}$
