Batteries
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 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 found in South America, North America and in the ocean.
No, lithium is very reactive metal and you would expect it find it as one of the ions ion present in minerals.
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 bromide, LiBr, is prepared by the treatment of lithium carbonate with hydrobromic acid
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
Hydrogen bombs usually use the element Lithium to produce Tritium in situ, but it is not in the reactive metallic form. It is in the form of Lithium Deuteride, so that when the Lithium is transformed to Tritium it is already in a Deuterium-Tritium mixture ready to undergo nuclear fusion.
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.
