When lithium reacts with oxygen, the mass of the lithium is unchanged. However, the mass of lithium oxide (Li2O) created is about 2.1 times as great as the starting mass of lithium metal (110% increase), due to the addition of oxygen.
If the lithium reacts with nitrogen, the mass of lithium is similarly unchanged. The reaction produces lithium nitride (Li3N), with a mass about 1.7 times as great as the starting mass of lithium metal (67% increase), due to the addition of nitrogen.

What do you get when lithium and oxygen combine?
Lithium tarnishes when exposed to oxygen. However, if the reaction is provoked by fire the Lithium will tarnish very quickly. Reactions: 4Li+O2 -> 2Li2O 2Li+O2 -> 2Li2O2
Lithium combines with oxygen to form lithium oxide Write the balanced chemical equation for this reaction What is the coefficient for lithium?
4 Li + O2 = 2Li2O.
What are the word equasions for burning lithium in oxygen?
Lithium+Oxygen>Lithium Oxide
What is true about lithium 6 and lithium 7?
lithium 6 has fewer neutrons, while lithium 7 is heavier
What is the lightest of the alkali metals?
Lithium, sodium, potassium, in order of lighter to heavier

Lithium, Nitrogen, Oxygen
Which is heavier lithium or potassium?
K is heavier than Li.
What is true about lithium 6 and lithium 7?
lithium 6 has fewer neutrons, while lithium 7 is heavier
What elements are in this unbalanced chemical reaction Li plus H2O LiOH plus H2?
lithium, hydrogen, oxygen
What is the lightest of the alkali metals?

What is the charge of lithium and oxygen?
When ionized : lithium is +1, Oxygen is -2.
What are the differences between lithium and oxygen?
lithium is with l & oxygen is with o
How does lithuim react with oxygen?
Lithium reacts with oxygen by causing it to tarnish. This reaction is magnified if heat is applied which causes tarnish to form very quickly when compared to exposing to oxygen alone.
