Answer:

Lithium Cation is a monovalent cation that is metabolized much like sodium and is important in many cellular functions inside or on the surface of cells. lithium has a single valence electron that is easily given up to form a cation. Because of this, lithium is a good conductor of heat and electricity as well as a highly reactive element, though it is the least reactive of the alkali metals
