Lithium

Today my science teacher gave us an element. Well i got Lithium. Lithium is an Chemical

element. will the symbol (Li) and the atomic number (3). Lithium is a silver mixed with white

color. Lithium is the lightest metal and it is a solid. Lithium metal is typically stored under the

cover of oil. When Lithium is connected to oxygen it turns into a hard metal and turns grey color.

Lithium is highly FLAMMABLE. Though very light in atomic weight lithium is less common in

the universe than any of the first 20 elements due to its low nuclear binding energy. Amounts of

Lithium is found in Oceans and Organisms.

HISTORY

Lithium was found By Johan August Arfvedson. He found Lithium in 1817, Stockholm, Sweden.

Lithium was taken place at a Swedish island. Gmelin observed in 1818 that lithium salts colour

flames bright red. Neither Gmelin nor Arfvedson were able to isolate the element itself from

lithium salts, for example in attempted reductions by heating the oxide with iron or carbon.
