Common NameLithium
DescriptionLithium, also known as lithium ion, belongs to the class of inorganic compounds known as homogeneous alkali metal compounds. These are inorganic compounds containing only metal atoms,with the largest atom being a alkali metal atom. Lithium exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and possibly neutral molecule. Lithium exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans.
