Answer is: because alkaline metals (group IA metals) are the strongest reducing agents and most reactive metals.
Reducing agent<span> is an element or compound that loses an </span>electron<span> to another </span>chemical species<span> in a </span>redox <span>chemical reaction and they have been oxidized.
Alkaline metals tend to lose only one electron in redox reaction.</span>
I just got this question and it was lipids sorry if i’m wrong
The half-life of any substance is the amount of time taken for half of the original quantity of the substance present to decay. The half-life of a radioactive substance is characteristic to itself, and it may be millions of years long or it may be just a few seconds.
In order to determine the half-life of a substance, we simply use:
t(1/2) = ln(2) / λ
Where λ is the decay constant for that specific isotope.
