MATERIAL OVERVIEW

Characteristics: Very soft silvery metal. Mohs hardness 0.6. Viscosity of liquid lithium less than water, heat capacity about the same as water. Reacts exothermally with nitrogen in moist air at room temperature. High electrical conductivity. Soluble in liquid ammonia.

Hazards: Ignites in air near melting point. Dangerous fire and explosion risk when exposed to water, nitrogen, acids or oxidizing agents. Extinguish fires with chemical only. Lithium ion is toxic to central nervous system.
