Lithium (from Greek lithos or stone) is a silvery-white alkali metal that is the lightest solid element. Just one atomic step up from Helium, this magic metal seems to be in everything these days.

Lithium, whose silvery-white colour tarnishes on oxidation when exposed to air, is the most electropositive metal (−3.04 V versus a standard hydrogen electode), the lightest (M = 6.94 g mol −1 ...

join with another hydrogen atom as a pair, making a molecule. Sometimes it is easy to tell which element a symbol stands for. For example, C stands for carbon and Li stands for lithium.

To this end, Critical Elements is advancing the wholly-owned, high-purity Rose Lithium-Tantalum project in Québec, the Corporation's first lithium project to be advanced within a land portfolio ...
