प्रश्न
The alkali metals are low melting. Which of the following alkali metal is expected to melt if the room temperature rises to 30°C?
पर्याय
Na
K
Rb
Cs
उत्तर
Cs
Explanation:
Among alkali metals, melting point decreases as the strength of metallic bonding decreases with increasing size of the atom. Thus, Cs has the lowest melting point (28.5°C) and will melt at 30°C.
