Every atom has an atomic number, even Lithium. But what is an "Atomic Number"?
The atomic number of a chemical element is the number of protons found in the nucleus of the atom of that element.Ok so I'll take you through some interesting facts and data about Lithium (That most people don't know).
Lithium Overview
Atomic Symbol
Li (Lithium)
Description
Soft silvery-white metal. Lightest of metals. Accounts for only 0.0007% of the earth's crust.
State at 20 °C
solid
Sources
Obtained by passing electric charge through melted lithium chloride and from the silicate mineral called spodumene [LiAl(Si2O6)].
