31) Explain Question: The question is asking about the consequences of small size of
lithium.
Concept: Due to its small size, lithium shows high polarizing power, more covalent
bonding, high ionization energy, and unique chemistry (e.g., diagonal relationship with
 Mg), making it behave differently from other alkali metals.
Solution:
The anomalous behaviour of lithium is due to the : (i) exceptionally small size of its atom and
ion, and (ii) high polarising power (i.e., charge/ radius ratio). As a result, there is increased
covalent character of lithium compounds which is responsible for their solubility in organic
solvents. Further, lithium shows diagonal relationship to magnesium which has been discussed
subsequently.
