प्रश्न
Give reason.
Alkali metals have low ionization enthalpies.

उत्तर
- Across a period, the screening effect is the same while the effective nuclear charge increases.
- As a result, the outer electron is held more tightly, and hence, the ionization enthalpy increases across a period.
- Since the alkali metals are present in group 1 of the modern periodic table, they have low ionization enthalpies.
