NITROGEN IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU THINK INTRODUCTION: In this article, we discuss nitrogen its important properties, and some incidents that happened in the past with people and instruments that deal with nitrogen. So, let's start: LIQUID NITROGEN INCIDENT THAT KILLED THREE TECHNICIAN OF NASA: The First space shuttle mission was named STS-1, the first orbital mission of NASA. This mission is uniquely described in this article due to the incident in which three technicians died due to inhalation of excess nitrogen of nitrogen. IMPORTANCE OF NITROGEN: Nitrogen is a crucial element in the periodic table due to many important properties. Nitrogen is a non-toxic & colorless gas that occupies 78% of the atmosphere. HISTORY OF NITROGEN: In the past, scientists had different opinions about this gas. For example, some scientists think it was brunt air because no combination occur in the presence of this element. Some believe it is very toxic and has no life because the environment fil...

| Lithium is an extraordinary Element |
Lithium was discovered by Swedish chemist Johan A. August in 1817. Named from the Greek word lithos, it means stone. It is the third-highest element in nature. Appearance is soft-sliver grey.
Lithium is the topic of today's discussion. So, let's start:
As you all know lithium is from its major application in batteries which are used in several devices. Lithium is the third lightest element known to humans.
Lithium in the periodic table:
Lithium is present in alklia family. The Alkalia family has the special property of forming alkalis with water. Lithium has an atomic number of 3 its mass number is 6.914u and it has a very low density in the periodic table.
Lithium is the lightest metal known to man. That is why is alloy majorly used in the aerospace industry.
Lithium mineral :
As lithium is very reactive it cannot be found in nature in its pure form. Its major minerals are "lepidolite, petalite, and spodumene".From this we humans can extract lithium.
Lithium in earth-crust and in this universe:
Lithium has been found in the earth's crust in a percentage of 0.002%. Most are found in its minerals form. In this universe, lithium has a 0.00000007% occurrence.
Lithium isotopes:
Lithium has many isotopes but most of them are radioactive and with very small half-life. So, that is why in this article we consider only its stable isotopes. Lithium has two stable isotopes lithium-6 and lithium-7.
Lithium in Thermonuclear Weapons:
Lithium deuteride is a compound of lithium used in thermonuclear Weapons. In hydrogen bombs, lithium deuteride is used to store deuterium and tritium which are great with each other to form helium and a lot of energy.
Alloys of lithium with aluminum:
Lithium alloy with aluminum is very important in the field of aerospace. This alloy is very lightweight and strong. It has the following properties that make it suitable for the aerospace industry:
1. High strength
2. Low density
3. High stiffness
4. Superior damage tolerance
4. Superior fatigue cracking resistance and weldability
Lithium used in medicine:
Lithium carbonate is used in medicine in the treatment of bipolar disease also known as "manic depression". This occurs due to an imbalance in chemicals present in the brain.
Lithium carbonate is used in the treatment of this disease. Lithium helps to reduce feelings of mania. Lithium actually stimulates the NMDA receptors, increasing glutamate availability in the post-synaptic neuron.
Lithium hydride:
Hydrogen gained much importance in the fuel and energy industry because it is a green source of energy. Lithium hydride is used to store hydrogen. Because of the small size of lithium, it stores hydrogen in a much higher quantity.
Uses and application of lithium:
The major use of lithium is in battery production. Lithium has more importance because of its characteristics.
Uses of lithium:
1. lithium is used in battery industries.
2. Lithium is used in air treatment.
3. Lithium is used in the ceramic and glass industry.
4. Lithium is used in polymer production and casting mold flux powder
5. Lithium is used as lubricating grease
Conclusion:
Lithium is a unique and extraordinary element and metal that has several applications in technology. Lithium has huge potential in the future to transform our future and technological revolution.
