Lithium the first element of group 1 differs from the rest of the elements of the group in many repects. This anomalous behavious of Li is due to (i). Very small size of its atom and ions (ii). High polarizing power (i.e., charge/radius ratio) of Li^(o+) ion (iii). Relatively high electronegativity and high ionization enthalpy (iv). Absence of vacant d-subshell in its outmost shell

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. Lithium is the only alkali metal which forms nitride directly. Why?
