The lithium is oxidized an the bromine is reduced.
In a chemical reaction involving a metal in elemental form, the metal will be oxidized.
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.
Lithium Bromine
Lithium could donate its one valence electron to Bromine, resulting in lithium becoming positively charged and bromine becoming negatively charged. The opposite charges would then attract, forming an ionic bond between the two atoms.
The reaction is a single replacement reaction, also known as a displacement reaction. In this reaction, bromine replaces iodine in lithium iodide to form lithium bromide and free iodine.
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.
A 300mg lithium carbonate capsule contains about 112mg of elemental lithium.
Several elemental gases are not in the same period as lithium. These are: hydrogen helium chlorine argon bromine krypton xenon radon
0 in elemental form, +1 in its compounds.

If you mean react with, the answer is a lot. Lithium is one of the most reactive elements there is. To start with, it reacts violently to fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine, the Halogens. It also reacts with hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon, hence why it's never found in nature in its elemental form. Its other major elemental reaction is with sulfur. Not surprisingly, there are a vast amount of compounds it also reacts with.

Elemental lithium (Li) is neither a cation nor an anion. But when Li loses it's one valence electron, it will become a CATION (Li^+).

Lithium is a metal, if reacted with water, it will create lithium hydroxide, a strong base.
Lithium Bromine
Lithium is one of the three elements (along with hydrogen and helium) created in the Big Bang, so it is abundant in the universe. It is estimated that lithium makes up about 0.0007% of the universe's elemental composition.
The likely products for the electrolytic reaction with molten lithium bromide using platinum electrodes are lithium metal at the cathode and bromine gas at the anode. Lithium ions (Li+) are reduced at the cathode to form lithium metal, while bromide ions (Br-) are oxidized at the anode to form bromine gas.
