is lithium a metal? Yes,  a soft, silvery-white alkali metal. what is meant by this last term? The alkali metals consist of the chemical elements lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), caesium (Cs), and francium (Fr). Together with hydrogen they constitute group 1 how is it connected to our solar system? All the alkali metals have odd atomic numbers and they are not as common as the elements with even atomic numbers adjacent to them (the noble gases and the alkaline earth metals) in the Solar System. where it is applied? Lithium is often used in lithium-ion batteries, and lithium oxide can help process silica. Sodium compounds have many applications, the most well-known being sodium chloride as table salt. Potassium compounds are often used as fertilisers which among them are the heavy ones? UNANSWERABLE

Lithium [SEP] Biological
Lithium is found in trace amount in numerous plants, plankton, and invertebrates, at concentrations of 69 to 5,760 parts per billion (ppb). In vertebrates the concentration is slightly lower, and nearly all vertebrate tissue and body fluids contain lithium ranging from 21 to 763 ppb. Marine organisms tend to bioaccumulate lithium more than terrestrial organisms. Whether lithium has a physiological role in any of these organisms is unknown.
