up to 0.9 is normal you have to go quiet a bit higher towards the positive to get lethal dosage.

Is lithium a natural source?

Elemental lithium is NOT a natural resource. Lithium is found as an ion in a combined state, such as lithium carbonate. The reason why lithium is not found naturally is because it is too reactive a metal.


What two things react with lithium?

Lithium is a highly reactive metal, so it can react with many other ions, especially halogens such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine


How many of each type should combine lithium and chlorine?

Go to the periodic table and look at the oxidation states for lithium and for chlorine. You will notice that there is only one value for lithium, and several values for chlorine. Therefore, the oxidation state for lithium is going to determine the answer for "how many chlorines." Now look at chlorine. Since the oxidation state for lithium is a positive value, which of the oxidation states for the chlorine would be applicable (remember lithium chloride is an ionic bond)? Identify the appropriate oxidation state for chlorine, and adjust accordingly.


Why do you need lithium?

Lithium has many uses. Lithium is used to treat people who are suffering from bipolar disorder. While lithium cannot cure the disease, it eases the symptoms. It is also used to fuel torpedos, where blocks of lithium are melted by electric sparks before reacting with sulphur hexafluoride to produce heat. Lithium is used to make many different types of batteries, ceramics, enamels, dyes, rubber products and glass including lenses for glasses and telescopes. It is also often used in compounds such as lithium hydride, which inflates many life boats and balloons, or lithium deuteride, which used in the explosively active part of H-bombs.


How many atoms of lithium are in 18.7 g?

The gram Atomic Mass of lithium is 6.941; this is the amount of lithium that contains Avogadro's Number of atoms. Therefore, in 18.7 g of lithium, there will be (18.7)/(6.941) times Avogadro's Number of atoms, or about 1.62 X 1024, to the justified number of significant digits.
