Lithium
Name: lithium
Symbol: Li
Atomic number: 3
Atomic weight: [ 6.941 (2)] g m r
Group in periodic table: 1
Group name: Alkaline metal
Period in periodic table: 2
Block in periodic table: s-block
CAS registry ID: 7439-93-2
Lithium is a Group 1 (IA) element containing just a single valence electron (1s22s1). Group 1 elements are called "alkali metals". Lithium is a solid only about half as dense as water. A freshly cut chunk of lithium is silvery, but tarnishes in a minute or so in air to give a grey surface.

Lithium
Lithium is a chemical element with the symbol Li and atomic number 3. It is a soft alkali metal with a silver-white color. Under standard conditions, it is the lightest metal and the least dense solid element. 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.
