As we learnt in

Nature of Bicarbonates of alkali metals -

Thermal stability and solubility increases down the group

- wherein

LiHCO{_{3}} does not exist in solid state, other bicarbonates are crystalline solid

 

 Beacuse of its high Hydration enthalpy and low lattice energy, LiHCOexists in liquid state.
