On this page I'll provide comprehensive data for Lithium. I hope you profit from it.
Lithium Overview
Name Origin
Greek: lithos (stone).
Symbol
Li (Lithium)Description
Soft silvery-white metal. Lightest of metals. Accounts for only 0.0007% of the earth's crust.
Discovery
Discovered By: Johann Arfwedson
Year: 1817
Location: Sweden
Sources
Obtained by passing electric charge through melted lithium chloride and from the silicate mineral called spodumene [LiAl(Si2O6)].
