Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 13.19PAE
In tables of standard reduction potentials that start from large positive values at the top and proceed through 0.0 V to negative values at the bottom, the alkali metals are normally at the bottom of the table. Use your chemical understanding of alkali metals and how they behave in bonding to explain why this is so.
