Which of these statements about enzymes is true? a.) enzymes increase the rate of a reaction by decreasing the gibbs free energy change of the reaction. b.) enzymes decrease the rate of a reaction by increasing the gibbs free energy change of the reaction. c.) enzymes increase the rate of a reaction by decreasing the activation energy of the reaction. d.) enzymes increase the rate of a reaction by decreasing the activation energy of the reaction and the gibbs free energy change of the reaction. e.) enzymes do not change the rate of a reaction?

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.

the answer is 1 i believe
