Is lithium behaves different from the other alkali metals true or false?

True. Although lithium is an alkali metal it is quite different from the other alkali metals. In fact it can generally behave more like an alkaline earth metal, such as Magnesium (Mg), Calcium (Ca) Strontium (Sr) and Barium (Ba). One of the major characteristics of the alkali metals is their low ionization energy, which is why lithium can easily be present in its ionic form of Li+. However, lithium posses the highest ionization energy of the alkali metals
