Overview:

 

Hi, I'm Lithium. I have a ton of weaknesses and strengths. I am a huge source of power for batteries. I am very capable of be chopped/cut in half by scissors, knives, and anything that can be used for cutting. I'm also afraid of oxygen unless if I'm surrounded by oil. I'm also found in drugs to help concentration. Even though i am the least reactive of the Alkali Metals, I still can react with water and release hydrogen. 

 

 
Information:  

Relationship Status: TAKEN BY Chlorine, because together, we form lithium chloride or LiCl.

  

Parent: J. A. R. Arfvedson

  

Network: Metal

  

Valence Electrons: 1

 
Reactivity: Not very reactive  
State of Matter: Solid, liquid, gas  
Address : Group 1 Period 2  

Birthday: 1817

  

Hometown: Stockholm, Sweden

  

Group: Alkali Metals

  
Activities & Interests:

Since I have a huge electrochemical potential, I am a huge power source in batteries. I'm also used as a alloying agent. I can be found in ceramics and special 

glasses. I can also be found in air conditioning systems because I am one of the most hygroscopic materials.

What is your relationship to medicine and batteries?

Lithium said

at 8:15 pm on Oct 24, 2012

My relationship with batteries is that I have a high electrochemical potential, making me the most used battery anode. My other relationship to medicine is that I am usually used for mood disorders because I am a simple chemical. I am formed as Lithium Carbonate and Lithium Citrate.

Hey JAKE its your bro Sulfur

What group do you most like to react with? Why?

Lithium said

at 9:21 pm on Oct 28, 2012

I can react to the Halogens to form ionic salts, hydrogen to form hydrides, and water to fizz and bubble. I only react with nitrogen at room temperature, however, the main group I react with is halogens.

An example is Lithium and Chlorine, forming lithium chloride or LiCl.

How reactive are you?

Chlorine said

at 10:15 pm on Nov 1, 2012

Did you know that we form the compound Lithium Chloride!

Iodine said

Hey lithium, did you remember we react to form lithium iodide? We should really catch up sometime!
