Lithium is a soft, silver-white metal that belongs to the alkali metal group of chemical elements. It is represented by the symbol Li, and it has the atomic number 3.
Under standard conditions it is the lightest metal and the least dense solid element. Like all alkali metals, lithium is highly reactive and flammable.
The nuclei of lithium are not far from being unstable, since the two stable lithium isotopes found in nature have among the lowest binding energies per nucleon of all stable nuclides. As a result, they can be used in fission reactions as well as fusion reactions of nuclear devices.
Lithium has important links to nuclear physics. The transmutation of lithium atoms to tritium was the first man-made form of a nuclear fusion reaction, and lithium deuteride serves as a fusion fuel in staged thermonuclear weapons.
"Prone to Violent Mood Swings" refers to use of the lithium ion, Li+, as a drug. A number of chemical salts of lithium are used medically as a mood stabilizing drug, primarily in the treatment of bipolar disorder, where they have a role in the treatment of depression and particularly of mania, both acutely and in the long term. As a mood stabilizer, lithium is probably more effective in preventing mania than depression, and may reduce the risk of suicide in certain bipolar patients. In depression alone (unipolar disorder) lithium can be used to augment other antidepressants.
The Elements of Harmony event is meant to demonstrate the theme of the Semester on Peace as tied to the chemical sciences. Lecturer Bonnie Dixon coordinated this event with more than 200 chemistry undergrads who represented one of the elements of the periodic table; many also dressed in a costume related to their ethnic or national identity (or a place they have visited). On Friday October 23, they assembled into the periodic table in the amphitheater outside Nyumburu Cultural Center and the Student Union. Shot 10/23/2009

This was taken in New Westminster at a Malaysian restaurant. This person is passionate about beer as you can tell. Tsing Tao is the name of the beer, and it is a Chinese import beer. This picture is a part of a portrait photography assignment for Visual Fundamentals, a course at BCIT. Nicole Chiu BCIT Journalism

Lecturer Bonnie Dixon is coordinating this event with more than 200 chemistry undergrads who will represent one of the elements of the periodic table and also dress in a costume related to their ethnic or national identity (or a place they have visited).

"Mr. Glassmire, you're a great teacher." That was the chalk message from students—expressed in periodic table abbreviations (atomic numbers included)—on the road between Dexter Hall and the Quad. What a nice expression of appreciation one of the Academy's finest; a chemistry teacher of course! Well done! #WAfaculty #WAdifference

A bit late posting yesterday's shot - good reason though - we were at my niece's wedding in West Wales. She's a chemistry teacher and a friend of hers made the entire periodic table of the elements - in cup cakes.
I wasn't there as their official photographer - so it was refreshing to sit back and watch someone else doing all the work for a change - although I did take a few shots - well a couple of hundred - just couldn't resist it :-)
I finally got my hexagons back out. This layout is from Periodic Spiral.com.
I am pinning and handsewing down this to the white background, which I will cut out and outline onto a black & blue background.
Blogged about it here

My cousin, who's still in high school, has been having some trouble in his chemistry class. No, school hasn't ended in Venezuela yet. So, I offered to help him out and we were working on some of that today. Oh! The Beautiful Periodic Table. I think I found love today ;)
