StarInfo/Rawle/!Elements/Text/Lithium
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Lithium is the least reactive of the group�I elements. It is rare, occurring in few compounds, and in some cases bonds differently to other group�I elements because of its higher electronegativity and smaller atomic radius. Lithium produces a pinkish flame when burned in air, and reacts gently in water to produce lithium hydroxide and hydrogen. It is used in small watch batteries, and to harden alloys.
