Question

Which one of the following properties shows that hydrogen resembles alkali metals? (A) Its ionization energy is of the same order as that of alkali metals (B) It is diatomic like alkali metals (C) It shows metallic character like alkali metals (D) When hydrogen halides and alkali metal halides are electrolysed, hydrogen and alkali metals are liberated at the cathode

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Both hydrogen and alkali metals are liberated at the cathode when their halides are electrolysed. Thus, hydrogen resembles alkali metals

Q. Which one of the following properties shows that hydrogen resembles alkali metals?
