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.
Because it contains 3 protons in the nucleus.
Because lithium has 3 protons the atomic number is 3.
this is because lithium being bad oxidising agent has low reduction potential
Lithium has 3 electrons, with 1 of these being in the valence shell. This places Lithium in group 1, along with sodium and potasium.
because it has one valence electrons and it will form alkali when dissolved in water.
Because lithium is in group 1
group 18
Potassium is in group 1 and the group elements are hydrogen, lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, francium
Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium, & Francium
The family members of lithium are; hydrogen, sodium, potassium, rubidium, caesium and francium.
Main group elements have elements from groups 1 and 2, except hydrogen and groups 13 to 18. Main group elements are elements in groups who's lightest elements are shown by helium, lithium, boron, beryllium, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine.
hydrogen
group 18
In the group of actinides uranium, actinium, protactinium and thorium are natural elements; the others (transuranium elements) are artificial elements.
Potassium is in group 1 and the group elements are hydrogen, lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, francium
These elements are francium and lithium.
Hydrogen & Lithium 😄
Almost every non metal except the elements in group 18 can make ionic bonds with lithium.
Alkali is a group of elements, not just one specific elements. Alkali metals are Group 1A elements starting with Hydrogen then lithium and so on.
Group I of the periodic table is called the Alkali Metals group (Hydrogen-Lithium group)
Elements in Group 1. (eg. Hydrogen, Lithium, Sodium etc.)
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)
Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium, & Francium
