LITH-I-UM

Chem4Kids Scientist Guy with Spiked Hair
Let's start our look at the second row of the periodic table with a look at lithium. Lithium is the third element of the periodic table and was discovered in 1817 by a chemist named Arfvedson.

This is the first metal encountered in the periodic table and it is a silvery colored solid when purified. One thing to remember is that lithium is never found alone in nature. It is always bonded to other elements. Scientists use the letter pair "Li" to represent lithium in chemical equations.
