question 30

Multiple Choice

Unlike the remainder of the Group 1A(1) elements, lithium forms many salts that have some covalent bond character. What is a reason for this behavior?

• A)The high first ionization energy of lithium makes sharing the electron easier than transferring it.
• B)The high charge density on the lithium cation deforms nearby polarizable electron clouds.
• C)The atomic radius of lithium enables it to share its valence electron effectively.
• D)Since lithium has only 1 electron in its 2s orbital, it can accept an electron from another element.
• E)Lithium's electronegativity is more like that of a non-metal than a metal.
