Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction to Lithium - Atomic number 3 and the chemical symbol Li identify the element lithium. The alkali metal is soft and silvery-white. It has the lowest density of any metal or solid element under normal circumstances. Lithium must be stored in a vacuum, inert environment, or inert liquid such as mineral oil or pure kerosene due to its high reactivity and flammability, which is a characteristic of all alkali metals. When cut, it has a metallic brilliance; however, damp air quickly corrodes it to a dull silvery grey, then a black patina. Lithium only ever exists in compounds, such as pegmatitic rocks, which were formerly the principal supply of the element, and never naturally. It is found in ocean water and is typically collected from brines since it is soluble as an ion.
