Periodic Table of Videos - Lithium



Lithium is one of the most reactive metals on the periodic table. Lithium is a very interesting element mostly because it is stored in a container and covered in oil so that it is not exposed to air or water molecules because it is so reactive. When Lithium is exposed to H2O, it immediately starts to react. it starts to fizz and then catches on fire. they say that if lithium catches fire you can never put it out.
