Question

Explain why Lithium
with respect to
show anomalous
other

behaviour
elements of the group​

Answer 1

Anomalous behaviour of Lithium is due to

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

• comparatively high ionization enthalpy and low electropositive character of lithium as compared to other alkali metals.

Answer 2

Answer:

Hope this helps you

Explanation:

Anomalous behaviour of Lithium is due to

Anomalous behaviour of Lithium is due to2) higher polarising power of Li+ resulting in increased covalent character of its compounds which is responsible for their solubility in organic solvents. 3) comparatively high ionization enthalpy and low electropositive character of lithium as compared to other alkali metals.
