( i) Both Li and Mg react slowly with cold water.

(ii) The oxides of both Li and Mg are much less soluble in water and their hydroxides decompose at high temperature.
(iii) Both Li and Mg react with N 2 to form nitrides.
iv) Neither Li nor Mg form peroxides or superoxides.(v) The carbonates of both are covalent in nature. Also, these decompose on heating.
(vi) Li and Mg do not form solid bicarbonates.

(vii) Both LiCl and MgCl 2 are soluble in ethanol owing to their covalent nature.(viii) Both LiCl and MgCl 2 are deliquescent in nature. They crystallize from aqueous solutions as hydrates

Lithium and berrylium are the elements of same period so they have same shells of electrons i.e. same principle quantum number
