A Typical characteristic of the representative element is that the first member of each group gives different present in that group. Lithium is no excepton. Through it is the first member of the alkali metal family (group f), it is anomalous in behaviour. This may be attributed to the small size of both Li and `Li^(+)` ion, high ionisation enthalpy, high polarising power, and non- availability of d-electrons in its valence shell.
The order of solubility of lithium in non-polar solvents is :

A

`LiI gt LiBr gt LiCI gt LiF`

B

`LiF gt LiI gt LiBr gt LiCI`

C

`LiCI gt LiF gt LiI gt LiBr`

D

`LiBr gt LiCI gt LiF gt LiI`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Due to the increase in anionic size, the covalent character of the halide increasese. Its solubility in nonpolar solvent increases.

Lithium and beryllium, the first members of alkali metals group and alkaline earth metals group, show anomalous behaviour due to the small sizes of their atoms and ions, high ionisation enthalpies, high polarizing power and absence of vacant d-orbitals in their valence shell. Lithium resembles magnesium while beryllium resembles aluminium due to diagonal relationships. Why is LiCl soluble in organic solvents?
