Batteries for computers, watches.
Lithium is commonly used in rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, which power a wide range of everyday devices such as smartphones, laptops, and electric vehicles. It is also utilized in some medications for the treatment of bipolar disorder, helping to stabilize mood. Additionally, lithium compounds are found in certain greases and lubricants, as well as in the production of ceramics and glass. Its lightweight and conductive properties make it essential for various technological applications.
No. Lithium metal is highly reactive and rather soft. Even if it didn't corrode away rapidly in normal conditions it wouldn't be much use. It is used in some types of battery. Lithium compounds are sometimes used in medicine, particularly as tranquilizers.
Often the therapeutic dose is very close to the toxic dose.
Yes, and no. Medical lithium does contain actual lithium, but not in its elemental form. It is given in the form of lithium carbonate an alkaline salt somewhat similar to washing soda (sodium carbonate). Lithium compounds such as this are usually stable and relatively benign. As an element lithium is a soft, light, and highly reactive metal. This reactivity makes elemental lithium impractical and even dangerous for everyday use.
Yes, MacBooks use lithium-ion batteries.
The name of the ionic compound LiI is lithium iodide.
Yes, Mac computers typically use lithium-ion batteries.
Batteries :)
An alkali metal, group 1.The diagonal relationship on the periodic table - its quite similar to Mg in reactivity.The way people use a shorthand in everyday life which is scientifically incorrect, Lithium is used instead of the proper name e.g. lithium carbonate to describe the medication for bipolar disorder. Lithium metal is highly reactive - just like sodium.
Yes, MacBooks use lithium-ion batteries as their power source.
Yes, portable speakers typically use lithium batteries for power.
