No, in comparison to the rest of the metals, lithium (as an alkali metal) would be called a soft metal. All the alkali metals could be cut with a knife, but still retain properties of metals.
no. it is a white coloured compound.
Lithium is a very common material found in desert countries, particularly in salt pans. Electrolytically refined using a mix of potassium chloride and lithium chloride. The pure metal is highly reactive, and must be stored under oil.
If you took 22000 mg of lithium you would most likely die. The drug will put you into a coma and it would be hard to get out of it.
Yes, lithium can be challenging to mine due to its presence in hard rock formations or in underground brine deposits. Extracting lithium from these sources can be difficult and costly, requiring specialized equipment and techniques. Additionally, environmental concerns such as water usage and potential ecosystem disruption can arise during the extraction process.
Lithium Bromine
lithium hydroxide + carbon dioxide --> lithium bicarbonate
Lithium oxide - Li2O Three oxides of lithium are known: Li2O, Li2O2, LiO2.
Lithium carbonate (Li2CO3), lithium citrate (Li3C6H5O7), lithium sulfate (Li2SO4), lithium aspartate and the lithium orotate are classified as mood stabilizers.
The process for purifying lithium is in which the lithium is melted in an inert atmosphere. The molten lithium is then maintained at a temperature of 400° to 700° C. In this manner, impurities in the lithium are virtually exclusively vaporized, without giving rise to substantial evaporation of lithium. The vaporized impurities are then condensed at a temperature of less than 100° C. and the purified lithium is recovered in molten form.
Lithium 6 and lithium 7 are isotopes of lithium. The main difference between them is in the number of neutrons in their nuclei - lithium-6 has 3 neutrons, while lithium-7 has 4 neutrons. Lithium-7 is more abundant in nature than lithium-6.
Isotopes of lithium are the different types of lithium atoms, each having the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. The three isotopes of lithium are lithium-6, lithium-7, and lithium-8.
