0A typical characteristic of the representative elements is that the first member of each group gives different characteristics as compared to the rest of the members present in that group. Lithium is no exception. Though it is the first member of the alkali metal family (group 1), it is anomalous in behaviour. This may be attributed to the high polarising power, and non-availability of d-electrons in its valence shell.
Lithium is the strongest reducing agent among the alkali metals due to which of the characteristics?
(A) Ionisation enthalpy
(B) Electron gain enthalpy
(C) Hydration enthalpy
(D) Lattice enthalpy.
