AI overview
Lithium is a soft, silvery-white chemical element that is the least dense metal known and highly reactive, requiring special storage conditions to prevent it from catching fire or corroding. It doesn't occur freely in nature but is found mainly in pegmatitic minerals, making it an important resource that must be carefully extracted and handled.
