Lithium is an element, thus it isn't made of anything, apart from 3 protons, 3 neutrons and 3 electrons. It is the third lightest element, and is in the first period of the alkali metals
Lithium is typically separated from other materials through a process called solvent extraction. This involves using chemical solutions to selectively extract lithium from the raw material. The extracted lithium then goes through further purification steps to ensure a high level of purity.
lithium is found in South America, North America and in the ocean.
i have know idea when it was found
Lithium
Lithium was found (i.e. first chemically identified as a distinct element) in the year 1817.
Lithium is rarely found in its pure state in nature. It is usually found in compounds, such as lithium carbonate and lithium chloride, in minerals like spodumene and lepidolite. However, pure lithium can be extracted from these compounds through various chemical processes.
Lithium can mix with various materials, such as other metals (e.g., aluminum, copper) to form alloys. It is commonly used in lithium-ion batteries, which mix lithium with other materials like cobalt, nickel, and manganese for improved performance. Additionally, lithium can be combined with non-metallic substances such as sulfur or oxygen to form compounds like lithium sulfide or lithium oxide.
Batteries
The person who found lithium was Johan A. Arfwedson.
lithium can be found in medicine,batteries,rocks and soil,hot springs,nuclear reactors,and last but not least air conditioners
Lithium is presently being recoered from brines of Searless Lake in California, other deposits in North California (very large deposits in NC), and Nevada Economic concentrations of lithium are found in brines, minerals and clays in various parts of the world. Brines and high-grade lithium ores are the present source for all commercial lithium production. The largest known deposits of lithium are in Bolivia and Chile.
