There are specific reasons for an element's placement on the Periodic Table. this is especially clear in the case of all the main group elements.

Lithium is in the second column (or group) because it has two valence electrons

Lithium is in the second row because it has two electron shells (or energy levels)

*Unlike Gp1 elements,but like Mg,Li forms a nitride Li3N.

*Unlike Gp1 but like Mg,it reacts directly with C to form an ionic carbide.

*Like corresponding salts,Mg,L2CO3,LiPO4 and LiF are insoluble in water.

Hydrogen is placed at the top of what column of elements?

It occurs at the top of the metals (alkaline metals) - the first group of elements but while normally shown at the top of the Group 1 elements in the periodic table, the term "alkaline metal" refers only to Group 1 elements from lithium onwards. (Lithium is the next one down)


Elements in group one?

Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium, & Francium
