MCQ
The activity of alkaline earth metals as reducing agent :
- Adecreases from $Be$ to $Ba$
- ✓increases from $Be$ to $Ba$
- Cincrease from $Be$ to $Ca$ and decreases from $Ca$ to $Ba$
- Ddecreases from $Be$ to $Ca$ and increases from $Ca$ to $Ba$
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
increases from $Be$ to $Ba$
Alkaline earth metals configuration: $ns^2$
So, they have tendency to loose electron so they are reducing agents.
As we move down, electronegativity decreases so reducing nature increases.
