2Li (s) + 2H2O(l) = 2LiOH(aq) + H2(g) The products are lithium hydroxide and hydrogen . Visually, when a pellet of lithium is placed on the water surface, it will gently effervese (fizz). NB For any Group 1 metal (M) , Na, K , Rb, Cs, Fr. 2M(s0 + 2H2O = 2MOH(aq) + H2(g) This reactions become more violent on going down the group . Fr (Francium) is never done in the open lab, because Francium is radio-active.
physical characteristics of lithium: it has the ability to float on water because of its low density; and because its so soft, you can cut it with a knife. chemical characteristics of lithium: when combined with water, produces hydrogen gas; and when combined with oxygen, it forms lithium oxide
yes it reacts and combines with a halogen called fluorine and can also make calthrates
Lithium is used in Lithium Batteries, which are used in computers. Also, Lithium is used to make Lithium-Ion batteries, which are used in many portable devices, such as MP3 players. Lithium used to be used to treat Mania Disorder.
A quantity of the pure element lithium is just that, lithium. It is not made of any other chemical elements.
Hydrogen
sugar water reacts with egg because the water and sugar combine to make the egg rout
Water. ---------- Oxygen

It chemically reacts to the tap water, so the green in iodine, reacts violently and causes a mixture according to make it blue.
Aluminium foil, sodium hydroxide
Dissolve into water and it actually reacts with the water to form H3PO4, phosphoric acid.
If you're floating metal on water, there are only a couple or three metals that have a density so low that they'll float on water. Those metals are lithium, potassium and sodium. Any one of these will float on water, and they are listed in order of increasing density with sodium just a bit less dense than water. Note that all of these metals will react violently with water, so we're setting this issue aside here. Be clear about that.
to make it clear for observation
Don't try this at home, since Li2S can react very violently with water (much like lithium or sodium metal in water).
