Is lithium the medication the same as the element lithium?
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.
What compound name is LiBr?
Lithium Bromine
Is lithium a natural source?
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 has one valence electron Bromine has seven valence electrons How might they form a chemical bond?
lithium donates an electron to bromine
Which type of reaction occurs when bromine and lithium iodide react to form lithium bromide and iodine?
a displacement reaction
Which gas is not found in the same period as lithium?
Several elemental gases are not in the same period as lithium. These are: hydrogen helium chlorine argon bromine krypton xenon radon
If a patient takes a 300mg lithium carbonate capsule how much elemental lithium is taken?
<120 mg
Oxidation number for lithium?
0 in elemental form, +1 in its compounds.
What other elements on the periodic table does lithium mix with?
If you mean react with, the answer is a lot. Lithium is one of the most reactive elements there is. To start with, it reacts violently to fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine, the Halogens. It also reacts with hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon, hence why it's never found in nature in its elemental form. Its other major elemental reaction is with sulfur. Not surprisingly, there are a vast amount of compounds it also reacts with.

Is lithium a base?
NO!!! Ity is a Group(I) elemental metal. However , its oxide lithium oxide (Li2O) is a base .
What is the common oxidation number for lithium?
0 in the elemental form, +1 in its compounds
Does lithium form cations?
Elemental lithium (Li) is neither a cation nor an anion. But when Li loses it's one valence electron, it will become a CATION (Li^+).
What compound name is LiBr?
Lithium Bromine
What is the chemical formula for lithium chloride?
Li is the elemental symbol for lithium, which is not a chemical, but an element or chemical element. Chemical elements are the building blocks of chemicals but are not themselves chemicals. Therefore, Li has no chemical formula.
Formula for lithium bromine?
Lithium Bromide = LiBr
What is the balanced equation for bromine and lithium chloride?
potassium cyanide
