Question

why Li salts are commonly hydrated & those of other alkali metal ions are usually anhydrous?​

Answer 1

As a result,water molecules gets attached to lithium salts as water of crystallisation. hence lithium salts such as trihydrated lithium chloride are commonly hydrated. as the size of ions increases,the polarising power decreases.hence other alkali metal ions usually taken as anhydrous salts.
