Answer:
It is observed that lithium is
the strongest reducing agent amongst alkali metals in solution as its \[E_{OX}^{{}^\circ
}\] value (+3.04) is maximum. \[E_{OX}^{{}^\circ }\] value depends on the
following factors:
(a) Sublimation energy
(b) Ionisation energy
(c) Hydration energy
However, the highest reducing power of
lithium in solution is due to its large heat of hydration.
