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.
What is the uses of standard electrode potential?
1. Standard electrode potentials found to be good predictors of the taste of metals 2. Standard electrode potentials found to be good predictors of Strengths of Oxidizing and Reducing Agents
Why do halogens form compounds with alkali metals?
Because halogens form negative ions, alkali metals form positive ions; both are reactive elements and an electrostatic attraction exist.
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 is a lead alkaline battery?
The positive electrode is made of lead oxide, the negative of any of the following metals: iron, lead, zinc or cadmium. The electrolyte can the hydroxides of any of the alkali metals (such as sodium). Please see the link.

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.
Is alkali the only earth metal?
there are alkali metals and alkali earth metals but there is no such thing as an element called alkali...
Which set of elements make up the reactive group of all metals?
The alkali metals in column 1 of most wide-form periodic tables.
