Lithium not occur free in nature, combined is is found in small amouts in nearly all igneous rocks and in the waters of many mineral springs. Lepidolite, spodumeme, petalite, and amblygonite are minerals that contain it. Lithium also being recovered from brines of Searles Lake, in California, and in Nevada.Deposits of quadramene are also found in North Carolina. Lithium is produced electrolytically from the fused chloride.
a common compounds of lithium is Li2CO3. lithium carbonate, it is used in glass or ceramics to make it stronger. Lithium carbonate is used in products such as glass cookware and black and white television tubes. As on 1996, 40% of lithium used in the United States was used as part of lithium carbonate.
Lithium carbonate can also be used in pill form to treat bipolar disorder. Its origins for use for mental health are rooted in 1949, when John Cade (1912-80) discovered that lithium carbonate benefits patients with Bipolar disorder.
Although lithium compounds can be good for your health, they are known to cause kidney damage.
Lithium deuteride is a constituent of some - perhaps nearly all - thermonuclear weapons.

∙ 15y agoIn moist air, lithium metal rapidly tarnishes to form a black coating of lithium hydroxide (LiOH and LiOH·H2O), lithium nitride (Li3N) and lithium carbonate (Li2CO3, the result of a secondary reaction between LiOH and CO2). When placed over a flame, lithium gives off a striking crimson color, but when it burns strongly, the flame becomes a brilliant white. Lithium will ignite and burn in oxygen when exposed to water or water vapours. It is the only metal that reacts with nitrogen at room temperature. Lithium metal is flammable and potentially explosive when exposed to air and especially water, though it is far less dangerous than other alkali metals in this regard. The lithium-water reaction at normal temperatures is brisk but not violent. Lithium fires are difficult to extinguish, requiring special chemicals designed to smother them (see sodium for details).

Name the compounds that are formed from lithium and fluorine?
When lithium and fluorine react, they form an ionic compound - lithium fluoride (LiF).
What compounds has the highest molar mass sodium iodide sodium bromide sodium chloride lithium bromide lithium fluoride?
sodium iodide
What is LiClO4 chemical name?
ability to convert among names and formulas for chemical compounds is crucial to ....HF(aq) + LiOH(aq) → H2O(l) + LiF(aq) c. H3PO4(aq) + 3LiOH(aq) → 3H2O(l) + Li3PO4(aq) d. Fe(OH)3(s) + 3HNO3(aq) → Fe(NO3)3(aq) + 3H2O(l). Exercise ...that all i can say and that what i think :)
Is lithium the medication the same as the element lithium?
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.
Which element would most likely bond with lithium and form an ionic compound?
Lithium reacts with many non metallic elements; generally it forms ionic compounds. Some examples :- The halogens, forming halide salts, e.g. Lithium chloride Oxygen; forming lithium oxide, Li2O; lithium peroxide Li2O2 Sulfur, forming lithium sulfide, Li2S Nitrogen, forming Li3N Hydrogen; forming LiH (contains the hydride H- ion) Carbon;carbide Li2C2, alkyl lithium compounds e.g. LiCH3
