Lithium

=== My atomic number is 3. I am a solid at room temperature. I cry at 180.54 �C and i get angry at 1342 �C. My density is 0.534 g�cm−3 and my liquid density is 0.512 g�cm−3. I react with oxygen to form monoxide and peroxide. I am the only alkali metal that reacts with nitrogen at ambient temperature to produce a black nitrure. === === I react easily with hydrogen at almost 500�C (930�F) to form lithium hydride. Metallic lithium�s reaction with water is extremely vigorous. I react directly with the carbon to produce the carbure. I bind easily with halogens and form halogenures with light emission. I also reacts with acetylenic compounds, forming lithium acetylures, which are important in vitamin A synthesis. My Brother is Hydrogen. ===

When I grow up I can become:

 * === Spodumene ===


 * === Lepidolite ===



= =
 * === Petalite ===



= =


 * === Amblygonite ===


 * === Can be used in batteries ===

= =


 * === Can be used in high-strength sight glasses ===



= =


 * === Can be used in space vehicles ===

__Lithium Song __ I exist on the periodic table I belong in the alkali metal family My atomic number is 3 and I’m proud of it Now let’s get to the facts I was born in the 18th century and discovered by Johan August Arfvedson in a mine in Uto Sweden Chorus I am an element and I have 3 protons, neutrons and electrons I am situated in the in the first column Come find me in batteries and That’s all form me now we will catch up next time
