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.
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. You might find it bonded to chlorine (Cl) from the other side of the periodic table in the molecule lithium chloride (LiCl).
