Information? What is that? I am having a hard time starting my crystal ball. The dilithium crystals are low again.
Dilithium, Li2, is a
diatomic molecule comprising two
lithium atoms covalently bonded together. Li2 is known in the
gas phase. It has a
bond order of 1, an internuclear separation of 267.3
pm and a
bond energy of 101 kJ mol−1.

Higher numbers of
covalently bonded lithium atoms exist, albeit in small quantities. It has been observed, for example, that 1% of lithium in the vapor phase (by mass) is in
