3.1: The Alkali Metal Elements
3.2: Compounds of the Alkali Metals
3.3: The Anomalous Chemistry of Lithium
While lithium shows many properties that are clearly consistent with its position in Group 1, it also has key differences to the other alkali metals. In fact, in many ways it is more similar to its diagonal neighbor magnesium (Mg) than the other Group 1 metals.
3.4: Organolithium Compounds
One of the major uses of lithium is in the synthesis of organolithium compounds, RLi. They have great importance and utility in industry and chemical research. Their reactivity resembles that of Grignard reagents, but they are generally more reactive.
