What are some unusual properties of lithium?

One unusual property is the very low density of lithium, at 0.534 g/cm3. Usually metals have high densities but lithium does not, which can be attributed to the fact that lithium is a group I metal, and in fact, the first group I metal. This means that lithium metal will actually float on water and on any hydrocarbon oil. It is less dense than any liquid element and also the least dense of elements that are solids at room temperature.
