Question

explain anomalous behaviour of lithium❓ ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The anomalous behaviour of lithium is as follows: Lithium is harder than other metals of the respective group. It has higher Melting and boiling point than other metals. ... As the polarizing power decreases with the increasing size of the ions the other alkali metal ions usually form anhydrous salts.

Answer 2

$\pink{ \fbox{ \mathtt{ \huge{A \purple{n}sw \orange{e}r \green{:)}}}}}$

The behavior of lithium is anomalous because of its small size and high polarising power

The anomalous behaviour of lithium are as follows :

=> Lithium is harder while other group members are soft

=> Lithium has high melting and boiling point as compared to other

=> Lithium in presence of air forms Li2O (monoxide) while other group members forms superoxide

=> Litium is less reactive as compared to other all alkali metals

=> Litium is a strongest reducing agent as compared to other group members
