L[|Lithium, Li] Above show's Lithiums Electronic Configuration.
 * Lithium's boiling point is; 1347.
 * It's melting point is; 180
 * It has a specific Gravity/Density of; 535kgm-3.
 * It has 3 Protons, 3 Electrons, and 4 Neutrons.
 * Lithium has an atomic mass of 6.941.
 * It's atomic number is 3.
 * It's orbital notation is 1s^2 2s^1
 * Lithium only has one valance electrons and only two more valence electorns in its next energy level. Lithium has a total of 3 valence electrons. Lithium becomes stable, less likley to bond, when it gains one more valence electrons to have two valence electrons. This is one of the few strange elements.


 * Was discovered by [|Johan August Arfvedson]at 1817 in Stockholm, Sweden. Origin of name: from the Greek word “lithos” meaning “stone”, apparently because it was discovered from a mineral source whereas the other two common Group 1 elements, sodium and potassium, were discovered from plant sources.


 * ====In the first commercial production of li thium metal was at Metallgesellscraft AG, Which was Germany’s largest industrial conglomerates based in Frankfurt, While using the electolysis of a molten mixture of lithium chloride and potassium chloride. ====


 * Lithium is a blackish, white metal which is the lightest metal, Lithium easily floats on water, which it reacts with, skittering around releasing hydrogen gas. It’s soft enough to cut with hand shears.Lithium metal is also very easy to cut with a knife. Results in a shiny silvery surface but this soon tarnishes because of the reaction with oxygen and moisture from the air.When Lithium is burned in air, the main products is the white oxide Lithium oxide.

 * Found in Lithium hydride LiH, Lithium fluoride LiF, and Lithium chloride LiCl.


 * Two common chemical reactions of Lithium is; Water (2Li(s) + 2H2O → 2LiOH(aq) + H2(g) and Halogens 2Li(s) + F 2 (g) → LiF(s).
 * Lithium is [|used] in various types of way’s. Lithium as a salt,has been used for decades as a treatment for manic-depressive disorders and other illnesses that effect the affect. It’s also used for vacuum packed slugg.


 * Jan 18, 2013 the price of pure lithium would be 27$ per 100g, and bulk lithium cost is $9.50 per 100g

 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px;">Lithium is used for many of things, but the unusual facts you might not know of is that it used in a thermonuclear weapon called the [|H-bomb]. The H-bomb is a nuclear weapon design that uses the heat generated by a fission bomb to compress nuclear fusion stage. Lithium is also used in ionic or sault form, is commonly used as a psychiatric medication. Chemical saults of lithium as used medically as [|mood-stabilizing drugs].
