    The reducing character increases from sodium to caesium. However lithium is the strongest reducing agent. The alkali metals have low value of ionization energy which decreases down the group and so can easily lose their valence electron and thus act as good reducing agents.

    Good reducing agents include the active metals, such as sodium, magnesium, aluminum, and zinc, which have relatively small ionization energies and low electro-negativities. Metal hydrides, such as NaH, CaH2, and LiAlH4, which formally contain the H- ion, are also good reducing agents
