(iii) High density.
(iv) Large atomic size.

उत्तर
(ii) High negative standard electrode potential.
(iv) Large atomic size.
Explanation:
Alkali metals have larger atomic size and low density. These metals lose electrons due to less effective nuclear charge. They have a high value of electrode potential.
Lithium has the highest negative reduction potential value. Due to the small size of lithium it has a small atomic size and highest ionization enthalpy.
