Question

What are the causes for which lithium shows same anomalous properties from the other elements in the group 1?

Answer 1

The small size of the lithium atom and the ion make them behave differently from other elements of the same group. However, they do exhibit certain ...

$\huge\underline\mathfrak\blue{Answer}$

✤Lithium the first member of the group-1 metals, shows anomalous behaviour as compared to the rest of the members because of its:

a. smallest.

b. highest polarizing power.

✤Moreover, Lithium compounds are soluble in organic solvents as they have higher covalent character than other alkali metals.
