litio

Also known as element 3

Li - Elemento chimico con numero atomico 3

OverviewAI-generated

Lithium is an alkali metal in group 1 and period 2 of the s-block. It has the atomic number 3 and the element symbol Li. Johan August Arfwedson discovered the element in Sweden in 1817. Its standard atomic mass is 6.94, though some sources list the weight as 7.0. The electron configuration is 1s² 2s¹, or [He] 2s¹.

The element has a density of 0.534, a melting point of 453.7, and a boiling point of 2426. Its electronegativity is 1, and its standard molar entropy is 29.1. Lithium commonly exhibits an oxidation state of 1. It is part of the lithiophilite mineral group. The Unicode character for lithium is 鋰.

Lithium is used to treat schizoaffective disorder. It is described in the Armenian Soviet Encyclopedia, the Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary, and the Encyclopædia Britannica 11th edition. The element is referenced by 2,190 other encyclopedia articles.

Il litio (dal greco λίθος, líthos, "pietra") è l'elemento chimico della tavola periodica degli elementi che ha numero atomico 3 e simbolo Li. È il secondo elemento del primo gruppo, ma è il primo degli elementi metallici e il capostipite dei metalli alcalini. Tra questi, l'energia di ionizzazione (5,39 eV) e l'affinità elettronica (0,618 eV) del litio sono le più alte; di conseguenza, ha anche la più alta elettronegatività (0,98, scala Pauling). Il litio, che non si trova in natura allo stato elementare, è un metallo tenero, ma un po' meno dei metalli alcalini seguenti, di color bianco argenteo, che si ossida rapidamente a contatto con l'aria o l'umidità. È il più leggero degli elementi solidi ed è usato principalmente nelle leghe conduttrici di calore, nelle batterie e come componente in alcuni medicinali.
