Lithium was found (i.e. first chemically identified as a distinct element) in the year 1817.
lithium is found in South America, North America and in the ocean.
i have know idea when it was found
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

Laptop batteries.
Elemental lithium is NOT a natural resource. Lithium is found as an ion in a combined state, such as lithium carbonate. The reason why lithium is not found naturally is because it is too reactive a metal.
Lithium is a metal. In fact, it is an alkali metal (the metals found in group I are alkali metals).
Lithium metal exists as a solid at room temperature. However, lithium metal is highly reactive and is rarely found as a neutral atom. Instead it is usually found as an ion, Li+, either dissolved in solution or in ionic compounds.
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.
Pure lithium is naturally produced by the process of fusion in our stars, including our sun.
