Lithium , Li
Lithium is a chemical element with the symbol Li and atomic number 3, and emerges as a pivotal element in the periodic table, renowned for its unique characteristics. Classified as a soft alkali metal with a distinctive silver-white coloration, lithium is the lightest metal and the least dense solid element, under standard conditions. Like all alkali metals, lithium is highly reactive, corroding quickly in moist air to form a black tarnish. For this reason, lithium metal is typically stored under the cover of oil.

Lithium
According to theory, lithium (mostly 7Li) was one of the few elements synthesised in the Big Bang, although its quantity has vastly decreased. The reasons for its disappearance and the processes by which new lithium is created continue to be important matters of study in astronomy. Lithium is the 33rd most abundant element on Earth, but due to its high reactivity only appears naturally in the form of compounds. Lithium occurs in a number of pegmatitic minerals, but is also commonly obtained from brines and clays; on a commercial scale, lithium metal is isolated electrolytically from a mixture of lithium chloride and potassium chloride.
Trace amounts of lithium are present in the oceans and in some organisms, though the element serves no apparent biological function in humans. Nevertheless, the neurological effect of the lithium ion Li+ makes some lithium salts useful as a class of mood stabilising drugs. Lithium and its compounds have several other commercial applications, including heat-resistant glass and ceramics, high strength-to-weight alloys used in aircraft, and lithium batteries. Lithium also has important links to nuclear physics: the splitting of lithium atoms was the first man-made form of nuclear reaction, and lithium deuteride serves as the fusion fuel in staged thermonuclear weapons.
Amidst the swiftly changing landscape of sustainable energy and technological advancements, lithium plays a pivotal role, making substantial contributions to the development of eco-friendly solutions.
