Density is mass per unit volume. Now, in this case of alkali metals, mass dominates, as we go down the group, the mass increases, hence, density should increase. This is true when we consider the... link 1 year, 11 months ago

We must understand that they are isoelectronic, hence, X+ originally has one electron more, while Y- originally has one electron less. Now, in their neutral states X will be placed before Y, as it is... link 1 year, 11 months ago
