Mendeleev Monday -Atomic Number 5 - Boron (B). Boron is too reactive to exist in its pure form, instead it exists combined with other elements. Essential for plant growth, Boron is also a beneficial micro-nutrient for us, used in fireworks, durable glassware & strong magnets.

Mendeleev Monday Atomic Number 3 - Lithium (Li). Lithium is the lightest solid element. It is not found freely in nature, instead it is extracted from ores or salt flats. Due to its high chemical reactivity and excellent thermal conductivity, lithium is used in: rechargeable batteries, fireworks, spacecraft, satellites, and is considered a potential fuel for nuclear fusion.
