The solubility of metal halides depends on their nature,lattice enthalpy and hydration enthalpy of the individual ions. Amongst fluorides of alkali metals,the lowest solubility of $LiF$ in water is due to

Which one among the following metals is the weakest reducing agent?

Explain the chemical properties of alkali metal elements (Group $I$).

Ions of an element of group $1$ participate in the transmission of nerve signals and transport of sugars and amino acids into cells. This element imparts yellow colour to the flame in flame test and forms an oxide and a peroxide with oxygen. Identify the element and write chemical reaction to show the formation of its peroxide. Why does the element impart colour to the flame?

Sodium is heated in air at $300^{\circ} C$ to form $X$. $X$ absorbs $CO_2$ and forms $Na_2CO_3$ and $Y$. Which of the following is $Y$?

The chloride of an element gives a neutral solution in water. To which group of the periodic table does this element belong?
