Lithium is softer than other alkali metals

Vedclass · Answer

(C) The anomalous behavior of lithium is due to its extremely small size and high polarizing power. $(1)$ Lithium is harder than other alkali metals,which are generally soft. $(2)$ Lithium has higher melting and boiling points compared to other alkali metals. $(3)$ Lithium has higher ionization potential and electronegativity than other alkali metals. $(4)$ The lithium ion is the most heavily hydrated among alkali metals due to its small size. Option $(C)$ states that lithium is softer than other alkali metals,which is incorrect as lithium is actually harder than other alkali metals. Therefore,this is not an anomalous property of lithium.
