Lithium is a very soft silvery metal, and can be cut with a knife just like butter. Lithium tarnishes quickly in the air, and will turn black within seconds. It is the lightest metal. Its density is only 0.53 g/cm^3, about the same as pine wood. Lithium is light enough to float in water.
1 Along with hydrogen and helium, lithium was one of the three elements produced in large quantities by the Big Bang. 2  When burning, lithium gives off a bright red flame. 3  Because it is the lightest metal, it can be alloyed with other metals such as aluminum and copper to make strong lightweight metals.
