Why alkali metals have negative sign of standard reduction potential?
Alkali metals have a tendency to lose electrons as they are highly electropositive.So they lose the electrons and get oxidized.Moreover as they are unable to gain the electrons they can't be reduced and hence their reduction potential is low.
Which elements is most reactive alkali metals or alkali earth metal or carbon family or inert gases?
alkali metals
Is lithium in the carbon group?
No, lithium is in the alkali metals group.
Which properties of alkali metals unusual metals?
Alkali metal forms Alkali while metals form bases.
What are more reactive alkali metals or alkline earth metals?
alkali metals

What are three radioactive are?
They are Alkali metals, Alkaline Earth metals, and Carbon 16. ----
Why is carbon reduction process not applicable for reduction of oxides of metals like Mn and Cr?
carbon can not reduce more electropositive metallic oxides like of Mn and Cr. Thus carbon reduction process not applicable for reduction of oxides of metals like Mn and Cr .
Is lithium in the carbon group?
No, lithium is in the alkali metals group.
What metal oxides can be converted to the metal by carbon reduction but not by hydrogen reduction?
any metals below carbon in the reactivity series. :)
Which properties of alkali metals unusual metals?
Alkali metal forms Alkali while metals form bases.
How chemically active are alkali metals?
Alkali metals are the most reactive metals.
What are more reactive alkali metals or alkline earth metals?
alkali metals
How are alkali metals different any from other metals?
Alkali metals are very reactive metals.
How do alkali metals react with other alkali metals?
They don't
Why are earth alkali metals called earth alkali metals?
Alkali earth metals are named after their oxides, alkaline earth.
