What is not a contributing factor to the fact that
the magnitude of the standard reduction potential
of Li is unexpectedly large compared to other lIA
metals?
a. The Lit ion is very small.
b.Lithium has the smallest atomic weight of the IA
metals.
c. The charge density (ratio of charge to size) is
very high for Lit ions.
d.The Lit ions exert a stronger attraction for H20
molecules than do other lA ions.
e. During reduction the H20 molecules must be
stripped off the Lit ion, which is a very
endothermic process.
