Question

Lithium is a basic or acid radical?

Answer 1

Thus, lithium, which floats on water, is highly reactive with it and forms strong hydroxide solutions, yielding lithium hydroxide (LiOH) and hydrogen gas. Lithium is the only alkali metal that does not form the anion, Li−, in solution or in the solid state.

Oxidation state: +1

Electron configuration: 2-1 or 1s22s1
