In what ways lithium shows similarities to magnesium in its chemical behaviour?
Similarities between lithium and magnesium are as follows. Both Li and Mg react slowly with cold water. The oxides of both Li and Mg are much less soluble in water and their hydroxides decompose at high temperatures. Both Li and Mg react with N2 to form nitrides.
