Nature of magnesium and lithium similarity in the following points:
1. magnesium and lithium in excess of oxygen in the combustion, the formation ofperoxides, generated only the normal oxide.
2. magnesium and lithium hydroxide can decompose when heated to the corresponding oxides.
3. magnesium and lithium carbonate are unstable, the decomposition of the corresponding oxides and release carbon dioxide gas.
4. magnesium and lithium salts, such as some fluoride, carbonate, phosphate and hydroxides are insoluble in water.
5. magnesium and lithium oxides, halides covalent is strong, can dissolve in organicsolvents such as ethanol.
6. magnesium ion and lithium ion hydration are strong.
