10.5. Assertion: Electrode potential is a measure of the tendency of an element to lose electrons in the aqueous solution. So, the reducing property can be correlated in terms ofelectrode potentials (E°) of alkali metals.
Reason: More positive is the electrode potential, higher is the tendency of the element to loose electrons and hence, stronger is the reducing agent.
