Definition of lithium in English:

lithium

noun ˈlɪθɪəmˈlɪθiəm

mass noun

1The chemical element of atomic number 3, a soft silver-white metal. It is the lightest of the alkali metals.
Lithium occurs widely as a minor component of silicate rocks, and in some rare minerals. The metal and its compounds are used in alloys, lubricating greases, chemical reagents, batteries, and other products
Example sentencesExamples
- The group lithium - sodium - potassium has a valency of one, as does the group chlorine - bromine - iodine.
- His recovery of the rare and vital ores of tantalum, lithium, and beryllium greatly aided the War Production Board.
- Personally, I would like to see neither battery used in the long run and we move to the lithium battery, because lithium is the lightest metal.
- Like hydrogen and helium, lithium was made in the big bang.
- Elemental nitrogen, however, is only capable of oxidizing a few metals such as lithium and magnesium.
1. 1.1 Lithium carbonate or another lithium salt, used as a mood-stabilizing drug.
  Example sentencesExamples

  Such patients are usually monitored for the effect of lithium on the kidney by the estimation of serum electrolytes.
  Four patients received lithium and three received placebo.
  He takes lithium every day, and doesn't much like it.
  These include amphetamines, antidepressant drugs, caffeine, corticosteroids and lithium.
  Patients who are prescribed lithium must be told about the increased risk of motor vehicle crashes.
