Lithium is the strongest reducing agent because of
its greater hydration energy
its high ionization energy
its high electron affinity
its low electronegativity
A.
its greater hydration energy
Lithum is the strongest reducing agent However IE of lithium is highest among alkali metals So, its reducing nature should be minimum.
The greatest reducing nature of Li in aqueous medium is due to the maximum hydration energy of Li+ ion.
Which of the following is an organometallic compound?
Lithium acetate
Methyl lithium
Lithium dimethyl amide
Lithium methoxide
