Answer:
The behaviour of lithium is different from sodium because of the following reasons :
1) Lithium is exceptionally small in size

3) There is increased covalent character in lithium compounds which is responsible for the solubility in organic solvents
4) Lithium shows diagonal relationship to magnesium due to their similarity in size
