Down is the periodic table of the element lithium, Lithium is the second one in the first group.]]> 2018-10-24 02:45:22 UTC https://padlet.com/anderson_lin/j8dppo4g2ttx/wish/296264569 When and where is it found anderson_lin https://padlet.com/anderson_lin/j8dppo4g2ttx/wish/296269530 In 1817 years, Johan August Arfwededson found it in Stockholm, Sweden. In his studies, he could not identify 10 percent of the mineral. He finally concluded that the missing 10 percent must be a new element. He called the new element lithium.
But it was first isolated by William Thomas Brande and Sir Humphrey Davy through the electrolysis of lithium oxide, which Johan Arfwededson cannot be able to do the isolated part.]]> 2018-10-24 03:07:30 UTC https://padlet.com/anderson_lin/j8dppo4g2ttx/wish/296269530 Problem that Lithium solve anderson_lin https://padlet.com/anderson_lin/j8dppo4g2ttx/wish/296398141 Lithium solve some problem on medicine and Electronic product.
So we can conclude that the element Lithium is very useful, which it solve the problem on the technology. because in previous, people use nickel batteries for the phone and all sorts of stuff. Then the problem is that the nickel batteries are to fat. So people change to Lithium batteries, so will be smaller to put in, and it will be better to use (if the phone company is good enough to turn it into nonexplosive.)
Also, lithium make a revolution of the technology, so from now on, people use lithium in daily, and you will probably like lithium because lithium let your computer works. 
So, THANK YOU LITHIUM]]> 2018-10-24 12:40:08 UTC https://padlet.com/anderson_lin/j8dppo4g2ttx/wish/296398141 The way lithium is collected anderson_lin https://padlet.com/anderson_lin/j8dppo4g2ttx/wish/296456356
You can find Lithium is all places that have salt flats, but the most lithium are in the Uyuni salt flat, which is the main place that product lithium. SO when the lake has drain, then the lithium will come out. You can also find in hard-rock deposits and evaporated brines. 
And it is hard to collect in hands, so you must wear gloves to get it, and clamps, because it may also have reaction.]]> 2018-10-24 14:14:56 UTC https://padlet.com/anderson_lin/j8dppo4g2ttx/wish/296456356 The important chemical reactions Lithium is involved in. anderson_lin https://padlet.com/anderson_lin/j8dppo4g2ttx/wish/296467439 Lithium is an active element, but not as active as the other alkali metals. It reacts with most acids, sent out hydrogen gas. Lithium does not react with oxygen at room temperature, but above 100°C does so to form lithium oxide (Li 2O). But it will still be oxidate by the oxygen. Lithium hydroxide (LiOH) is used to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere of a spacecraft. Lithium stearate (LiC18H35O2) is used as a common purpose and high-temperature lubricant. Lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) is used as a drug to treat manic depressive trouble.
And down there is a picture of a mixture which is a

  • Lithium does not occur free in nature often.
  • Lithium is the lightest metal and the least dense solid element in all element
  • The variation of lithium to tritium was the first man-made nuclear fusion reaction.
  • Pure lithium metal is extremely caustic and requires special handling.
  • Arfvedson named the element, but he was unable to purify it as a pure metal. Then in 1855 years, two scientists finally purify it 
  • Lithium is the only alkali metal that reacts with nitrogen.
  • Humphrey Davy produced some of the world’s first lithium metal from lithium carbonate. 
  • Lithium based batteries have revolutionized consumer devices such as computers and cell phones. 
  • Lithium batteries send more energy than batteries based on other metals, in other words, lithium batteries have high energy density.
  • It cost 27 USD for a pure lithium.

  • The Lithium element will affect the environment by burning, because it will have big reaction after very hot temperature.
  • The lithium may cost a lot of environment resource, so people will dig underground or lake
  • Lithium may be overuse and there will be empty lake base and ground base

  • there may be may people using lithium, by this, the price will come up, then after all, the price of technology will increase. Because if then, lithium will be rare, so the price will probably go upward.
  • Lithium may be hard to find, then the price of a worker for technology department may lose their jobs.
  • There may be not enough lithium for medicine, so people will get more unhealthy. 
    • ]]>     2018-10-27 04:56:47 UTC https://padlet.com/anderson_lin/j8dppo4g2ttx/wish/297612746     Connection with other anderson_lin https://padlet.com/anderson_lin/j8dppo4g2ttx/wish/297613793 It is related to alkali metal family, because first of all, they are same family, and the can explode which is dangerous.  Last, their valence electrons are 1. Also the halogen family, because it can mix with them.And lithium is also the only one who can mix with nitrogen in it's family. So it also connect to nitrogen.]]> 2018-10-27 05:24:17 UTC https://padlet.com/anderson_lin/j8dppo4g2ttx/wish/297613793 Reference anderson_lin https://padlet.com/anderson_lin/j8dppo4g2ttx/wish/298820596 Works Cited
