Lithium doesn't form a molecule like Hydrogen unless heated to high temperatures. Lithiums melting point is around 30C and its boiling point is around 40C or 50C. It isn't until it boils off that you get Li2, a gas. I don't have my CRC handy to look up the actual values here, but this is what I recall from my college Chemestry labs. Li is violently reactive when exposed to anything, which is what makes Li+ Ion batteries so powerful (and so dangerous). Warner
