Lithium shows anomalous behaviourand departs from the general group trend. This is mainly because of its small size. ... Both lithium and magnesium form monoxides when heated in air or oxygen while other alkali metals form peroxides or super-oxides.

Lithium and magnesium ion show comparable boiling and melting points. Due to small size, the lithium atom has high ionization energy. It reacts with water, liquid bromine and forms a highly stable hydride unlike other alkali metals. Magnesium exhibits all these properties.
