Yes, and no. Medical lithium does contain actual lithium, but not in its elemental form. It is given in the form of lithium carbonate an alkaline salt somewhat similar to washing soda (sodium carbonate). Lithium compounds such as this are usually stable and relatively benign.
As an element lithium is a soft, light, and highly reactive metal. This reactivity makes elemental lithium impractical and even dangerous for everyday use.
A medicines used to treat depression is often referred to as lithium but it is NOT the element lithium. Taking pure lithium metal would be very dangerous as it is a very reactive alkali metal.
It's the element Lithium, it's on the periodic table of the elements.
Lithium is a chemical element and it is simply called Lithium, its symbol is Li.
Lithium is the only element that can burn in nitrogen. When lithium reacts with nitrogen, it forms lithium nitride.
No, lithium is not a hydrocarbon. Lithium is a chemical element that belongs to the alkali metal group on the periodic table. Hydrocarbons are compounds consisting of hydrogen and carbon atoms.
Well, somewhere in lithium medication there are lithium molecules. But you can't suck on a battery instead of taking your medicine. Likewise the medicine won't deliver any electricity.
The element in the same group as lithium (Group 1) and the same period as iron (Period 4) is potassium.
No. Lithium is a metallic element. Amphetamines are organic compounds.
No. Lithium is an element with atomic number 3 (or 3 protons) and neon is an element with atomic number 10 (or 10 protons). Both are not same.
The element below sodium with atomic number 11 is lithium. Lithium is a metal in the same alkali metal family as sodium.
No, lithium is not a tranquilizer.

Yes, lithium carbonate is the active ingredient in Eskalith, which is a brand name for lithium carbonate. Therefore, they are essentially the same medication and can be used interchangeably for the treatment of bipolar disorder.
Lithium is a natural element that is found in various minerals and salts in the Earth's crust. It is not a synthetic element.
A medicines used to treat depression is often referred to as lithium but it is NOT the element lithium. Taking pure lithium metal would be very dangerous as it is a very reactive alkali metal.
