Which of the following does not illustrate the anomalous behaviour of lithium ?

Certain characteristics lithium differ from those of other alkali metals, the main reason for this is

Lithium is the hardest alkali metal.

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?
