Dear student
Please find the solution to the asked query:

Lithium possess small size, high reactivity and high hydration
enthalpy and lowest reduction potential therefore behaves as
strongest reducing agent in aqueous medium This can be seen in
electrochemical series, where lithium is at the top of series in
increasing order of reduction potential
