Note: Pure metallic element having symbol Li and atomic number 3; a soft, silver-white metal, the lightest element in the alkali metal series. It is obtained from minerals, such as spodumene, in which it occurs or as a byproduct of potash and borax. Use also for this metal as processed and formed for use as a heat transfer medium in nuclear reactors or as a strengthener in alloys and many manufactured products such as ceramics and glass. Its salt is used in psychiatric medications.

| Dutch ..... Puur metaalelement met symbool Li en atoomnummer 3. Het is een zacht, zilverwit metaal, het lichtste element in de groep alkalimetalen. Het wordt verkregen uit mineralen, zoals spodumeen, of als bijproduct van potas en borax. De term verwijst ook naar dit metaal in verwerkte vorm, voor gebruik als warmtetransportmedium in kernreactors of als versterker in legeringen en vele gefabriceerde producten, zoals keramiek en glas. Lithiumzout wordt gebruikt in psychiatrische medicijnen. |
