Do you think that thermal energy stored in lithium fluoride be used to generate all of the electricity used on earth at night?
Yes
How do you mine lithium?
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.
Is lithium oxide a molecular compound?
No, It is ionic. All lithium compounds are ionic.
What is the formula for the ionic compound Li and S2?
Lithium combines with sulphur to form lithium sulphide (Li2S)
Is lithium a controlled substance?
Is lithium a controlled substance?
What state of matter is lithium in?
SOLID Under standard conditions Lithium is the lightest metal and the least dense solid element. Like all alkali metals, lithium is highly reactive and flammable. For this reason, it is typically stored in mineral oil.
Do you think that thermal energy stored in lithium fluoride be used to generate all of the electricity used on earth at night?
Yes
Why lithium metal is stored under oil?
Because lithium is extremely reactive and can undergo in air a violent oxidation.
What can lithium do?
Lithium is a group 1 element, this causes it do be very reactive with substances such as water to the point where it has to be stored in oil. Lithium has many domestic uses such as it is used in standard household batteries.
What do you put metals in depending on how lively they are?
Sodium and lithium are stored in oil so they don't react with air.
Why does the lithium reaction with water often start slowly?
Lithium is very reactive and a layer of compounds such as the oxide build up on the surface. This slows the initial reaction. Also, if the lithium is stored in oil and this is not removed it may keep the water away from the metal.

What Elements in lithium sulfate?
Many on the right hand side of the periodic tabel. All the halogens do and so do all the Oxygen and nitrogen group. There are others too.
How many protons are there in the lithium?
All lithium atoms (ions or neutral) have 3 protons.
Do all lithium atoms contain the same number of protons?
All the lithium atoms contain the same number of protons.
