Why does lithium form stable complex compound than other alkali metals?

As complex comopunds or salts are those which can dissociate to give complex anion and simple cation and vice versa.
As Li is small in size and if Li combine with comples anion then it will form a complex compounds.While the other alkali metals are large in size. So if these metals combine with large anion or complex anion then they does not form a complex compounds. It is the reason that Cation which is in the form of alkali is large or complex and anion also comple. So, in this case both ions that produced are large.That's why other then Li, alkali metals not form comples compounds.
One of the best example of Li complex compound is " Lithium tetra-amine "
Li(NH3)4

Is lithium in the carbon group?
No, lithium is in the alkali metals group.
Is lithium a metal a nonmetal or a metalloid?
Lithium is a metal. In fact, it is an alkali metal (the metals found in group I are alkali metals).
What group would lithium be in on the periodic table?
They are in group one called the Alkali Metals.Those are alkali metals. They are the most reactive of all the metals, and they are in group 1 of the periodic table, all the way to the left.
Where are the alkali metals?
The alkali metals are the metals found in group I, includinng lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, caesium and francium.
