Solution

The large hydration energy is responsible for the case with which lithium-ion will be made in solution. The electrode potential of Li reflects this tendency for Li to convert into a hydrated ion, rather than its inherent ability as a reducing agent. If lithium takes part in reactions that do not involve water, then it does show less reducing power than the other members of the group.
