Lithium

• - State​ ​of​ ​matter​ ​at​ ​room​ ​temperature​ ​is​ ​a​ ​solid.
  
  
• - Number​ ​of​ ​valence​ ​electrons​ ​is​ ​1.


• - Lithium​ ​is​ ​very​ ​soft​ ​and​ ​can​ ​be​ ​cut​ ​like​ ​butter.​ ​It​ ​is​ ​light​ ​enough​ ​to​ ​float​ ​in​ ​water​ ​but​ ​will react​ ​with​ ​water​ ​and​ ​make​ ​lithium​ ​hydroxide​ ​and​ ​hydrogen​ ​gas


• - Density= 0.534 g/cm³.


• - Good​ ​Thermal​ ​and​ ​electrical​ ​conductivity.


• - Lithium​ ​is​ ​flammable​ ​and​ ​potentially​ ​explosive​ ​when​ ​exposed​ ​to​ ​air​ ​and​ ​water


• - Lithium​ ​is​ ​not​ ​necessary​ ​for​ ​life.


• - Important​ ​use:

• - 1= Batteries

• - 2= Bipolar disorder

• - 3= Aircraft manufacture



• -Research= water​ ​based​ ​lithium​ ​batteries​ ​that​ ​dont​ ​explode
