Question

explain anomalous 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 shows anomalous behaviour due to:

• Small size
• Low ionization enthalpy
• Absence of vacant d orbitals

Anomalous behaviours are:

• Lithium is much harder(melting point and boiling point is high)
• Lithium form monoxide while others form peroxide and superoxide
• Lithium react with nitrogen to form Lithium nitride while other alkali metals do not form nitrides.
