Lithium was first identified in 1817, one of several to be found during a golden age of element discovery. In 1800, the Brazilian scientist José Bonefácio de Andrada e Silva (1763-1838) discovered two new minerals on the Swedish island of Utö which were called petalite and spodumene.

READ MOREUnlike the two other alkali metals, which were first discovered in plants, lithium was discovered in rocks. Lithium was first identified in 1817 by Johan A. Arfvedson, of
READ MORELithium was discovered by Johan August Arfvedson in 1817 during an analysis of petalite ore, an ore now recognised to be LiAl (Si 2 O 5) 2, taken from the Swedish island of Utö. Arfvedson subsequently discovered lithium in the minerals spodumene and lepidolite. C.G. Gmelin observed in 1818 that lithium salts colour flames bright red.
READ MOREUnder hydrogen and after helium, Lithium, with the atomic symbol Li and an atomic number of 3, lies on group 1 of the periodic table. It belongs to an elemental family known as alkali metals, which include sodium and potassium. Like those sibling elements, Li has just one valence electron. Its electronegativity reads as 0.98 on the Pauling scale.
READ MORESince its discovery 200 years ago, lithium has been used in medicine in one form or another for almost 150 years. Within the first decades after its discovery, it was utilized to treat various medical conditions including gout, urinary calculi, diabetes, infections, and rheumatism, but with no confirmation of any major effects in these diseases (Schou
