Lithium: Is it Radioactive?

Post by kevindakilla »

Hi, I'm doing a project on lithium and I need to know if lithium is radioactive. I've tried various sources, all with no luck. Could you help me? Thanks.

Depending on your interests in this topic, it might be worth noting that, although naturally occurring lithium isotopes (Li-6 and Li-7) are not radioactive, there exist man-made isotopes of lithium that are radioactive.
