Lithium Lithium pieces
Lithium is the lightest of all metals, with only half the weight of water. Like many other elements, it reacts with air, but opposite to most of those not with the oxygen, but with nitrogen. Thereby it quickly forms lithium nitride, Li3N, which in these images makes a dark layer on the otherwise light silver metal. Lithium is often used in disposable and rechargeable batteries, lithium salts are used in medicine as treatment for mental disorders.
