Lithium is a solid but with a low melting point (180 degrees Celcius).
Please see the related links.
It is somewhat strange that lithium is not a gas at standard temperature and pressure. The lithium atom is similar to a hydrogen atom, the only difference being two more protons and three neutrons in the nucleus and two more (very securely tied down) electrons. In effect (as I see it), it is just one electron orbiting a light nucleus - just like hydrogen - and it is a lot lighter than things like oxygen and nitrogen, which are very very gaseous.
Sorry to say this, but I suspect we need to know a bit about quantum mechanics to understand why lithium behaves in this very solid way.
What else can I help you with?
Does solid lithium metal react with oxygen gas to form solid lithium oxide?
Yes, it will react to form an external layer of lithium oxide (Li2O).
Is calcium oxide a liquid a solid or a gas?
Calcium oxide is a solid at room temperature. It is a white, crystalline solid that is commonly referred to as quicklime.
Is Al2O3 a solid liquid or gas?
Al2O3, also known as aluminum oxide, is a solid compound under standard conditions.
Is lithium a gas?
No. Lithium is a solid at room temperature.
The chemical equation of iodine solid to gas?
The chemical equation for the sublimation of iodine solid to iodine gas is: I2(s) -> I2(g). This represents the process in which solid iodine directly transforms into iodine gas without going through a liquid phase.

Solid
What do you get when lithium and oxygen combine?
Lithium tarnishes when exposed to oxygen. However, if the reaction is provoked by fire the Lithium will tarnish very quickly. Reactions: 4Li+O2 -> 2Li2O 2Li+O2 -> 2Li2O2
