It is the lightest of the metals, with a density approximately half that of water. Under ordinary conditions, lithium is the least dense of the solid elements. It has the highest specific heat of any solid element. Metallic lithium is silvery in appearance. It reacts with water, but not as vigorously as does sodium. Lithium imparts a crimson color to flame, although the metal itself burns a bright white. Lithium is corrosive and requires special handling. Elemental lithium is extremely flammable.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Atomic Number:<\/strong> 3<\/li><li><strong>Symbol:<\/strong> Li<\/li><li><strong>Atomic Weight:<\/strong> \u00a0[6.938; 6.997]<br \/><strong>Reference:<\/strong> IUPAC 2009<\/li><li><strong>Discovery:<\/strong> 1817, Arfvedson (Sweden)<\/li><li><strong>Electron Configuration:<\/strong> \u00a0[He]2s<sup>1<\/sup><\/li><li><strong>Word Origin Greek:<\/strong> <em>lithos<\/em>, stone<\/li><li><strong>Element Classification:<\/strong> Alkali Metal<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-759e497d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"759e497d\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-54ba5800\" data-id=\"54ba5800\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2858562 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2858562\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Common Uses and Applications of Lithium<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b43564c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b43564c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\"><p>Lithium is used in heat transfer applications.
