No.

There is no ability of the human body to develop any known tolerance to the lithium bases (Lithium Citrate, Lithium Carbonate, etc). The drug, in fact, operates so close to the toxic threshold that any such tolerance might quickly prove fatal.

A failure, over time, of lithium salts to treat a disorder has more to do with patient neuro-chemistry that favors an alternate drug (preferably an anti-convulsant such as Carbamazepine), or perhaps misdiagnosis, than anything else.

In what two ways can a person become immune to an infectious disease?

A person can become immune to an infectious disease through vaccination, which triggers the body's immune response to produce antibodies against the pathogen. Additionally, a person can also develop natural immunity by recovering from an infection, where the immune system creates memory cells that can recognize and fight the pathogen if re-exposed.


When a lithium atom forms a Li plus ion the lithium atom does what?

THe lithoium atom has IONISED ( lost) an electron, to become the lithium ION.


What is the number of electron for lithium?

Lithium has 3 electrons and the Lithium ion has 2.


If a fluorine atom were to attract an extra electron from lithium the literature atom would become charged?

If a fluorine atom attracts an extra electron from a lithium atom, the fluorine atom will become negatively charged, forming a fluoride ion (F⁻), while the lithium atom will become positively charged, forming a lithium ion (Li⁺). This process involves the transfer of an electron from lithium to fluorine, resulting in the formation of an ionic bond between the two ions. The overall reaction leads to the formation of a stable ionic compound, lithium fluoride (LiF).


Where is lithium refined?

Lithium is primarily refined in countries with significant mining operations, such as Australia, Chile, and China. In Australia, lithium is often processed in local facilities, while Chile and Argentina utilize evaporation ponds to extract lithium from brine. Additionally, China has become a major hub for lithium refining and processing, handling a significant portion of the global supply. The refined lithium is then used in various industries, particularly for lithium-ion batteries.

If a fluorine were to attract an extra electron from lithium the lithium atom would become blank charge?

If a fluorine atom were to attract an extra electron from a lithium atom, the lithium atom would become a positive charge because it loses an electron.

Can a person become immune to common cold viruses?

Repeated exposure to viruses causing colds creates partial immunity.


If a chlorine atom attracted an extra electron from lithium the lithium atom would become?

Yes. Any atom that loses or gains electrons become charged. Positively charged If the chlorine atom attracts an electron from a lithium atom, they both become charged ions. The chlorine atom becomes a -1 charged chlorine ion and the lithium atom becomes a +1 charged lithium ion. Further the two ions combine to make the compound Lithium Chloride.


Can you become immune to viruses?

You can.


How many electrons would lithium use to form an ion?

Lithium loses one electron to become the cation Li+.


What happens lithium atom that has lost an electron comes near a chlorine atom that has gained an electron?

The lithium atom, which has lost an electron to become positively charged, will be attracted to the chlorine atom, which has gained an electron to become negatively charged. They may form an ionic bond by transferring electrons from lithium to chlorine, creating lithium chloride.


If a fluorine atom were to attract an extra electron from lithium the lithium atom would become blank chanrge?

If a fluorine atom were to attract an extra electron from lithium, the lithium atom would become a positive charge. This is because it would lose an electron, leaving it with a net positive charge due to the loss of a negatively charged electron.
