'''Lithium''' is an [[element]] in the [[alkali metal]]s class of the [[periodic table]].<ref>Wile, Dr. Jay L. ''Exploring Creation With Physical Science''. Apologia Educational Ministries, Inc. 1999, 2000</ref> It is the lightest [[solid]] element -- about half the [[density]] of [[water]].  Like the other alkali metals, lithium reacts violently with water; it is usually stored in oil.

Lithium was discovered in petalite in 1817, and isolated in 1821 by W. T. Brand and Sir Humphrey Davy, by electrolyis of lithium oxide.
