Lithium exhibits anomalous behaviour as it has a very high ionisation enthalpy than others in the group. Also it has similar chage/mass ratio as magnesium so it shows a diagonal relationship with it.
1. Lithium and magnesium both form nitrides directly when in contact with air.
2. They both form hydrated salts. LiCl.2H₂O , MgCl₂.6H₂O
3. Their carbonates decompose on heating
