{"product_id":"lithium-metal-99-9","title":"Lithium metal 99.9%","description":"\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"\u003eLithium takes the record as the lightest of all metals at just 0.5g per cubic centimeter. That's half the weight of water which means, of course, that it could float on water just as wood. Quite unlike wood, however, lithium does not at all like floating on water. The metal is reactive enough in air that it tarnishes to black before your eyes. In water though it fizzes, boils then catches on fire and explodes!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"\u003eSince lithium is so reactive it is very difficult to keep it in its oxide-free elemental state. It is so reactive, in fact, that when molten it can even attack glass which is impervious to every other element on the periodic table except fluorine. Keeping it oxide-free therefore requires encasing the sample in glass under a noble gas which works, but is more costly. Stored in mineral oil, however, lithium will darken but remains quite affordable!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"\u003eNote other lithium samples on the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.luciteria.com\/ampules\/lithium-999\"\u003eAmpules\u003c\/a\u003e section\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"\u003eCAS 7439-93-2\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Luciteria","offers":[{"title":"1 gram","offer_id":47809800110245,"sku":"Li1g_bot","price":6.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"7x25mm","offer_id":47809800143013,"sku":"Li7x25mm","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"15x30mm flat bottom","offer_id":47809800175781,"sku":"Li_FBB","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1 kilogram","offer_id":47809800208549,"sku":"Li1k","price":4990.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0759\/8833\/6805\/files\/DSC_6112_5c2c8059-d139-4310-bf68-39f572c9bc4e.webp?v=1778165526","url":"https:\/\/luciteria.com\/products\/lithium-metal-99-9","provider":"Luciteria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
