Question

explain anamalous behaviour of lithium​

Answer 1

Answer:

Anomalous behaviour of Lithium is due to

1) very small size of lithium atom and its ions.

2) higher polarising power of Li+ resulting in increased covalent character of its compounds which is responsible for their solubility in organic solvents.

Answer 2

Answer:

Lithium is harder than other alkali metals.

Melting and boiling point is higher than other alkali metals.

Out of all the other alkali metals, it is the least reactive metal.

It is a strong reducing agent compared to other alkali metal.

It is the only alkali metal that forms its monoxide.

Compared to other alkali metals, it is not capable of forming solid hydrogen carbonates.

It does not react with ethyne to form ethynide. On the other hand, all other alkali metals form ethynide.

It reacts slowly with bromine as compared to other alkali metals.
