TMEDA has a high affinity for this element's ions. Its aluminum hydride can reduce esters into primary alcohols. The 2009 death of UCLA researcher Sheharbano Sangji was caused by this element's flammable tert-butyl compound, which is a very strong base. Like strontium, it gives a crimson flame test, and it has the highest 2nd ionization energy of all the elements. Bombarding this element's lightest isotope with neutrons produces tritium and helium, and its carbonate salt is used to treat bipolar disorder. For 10 points, name this lightest alkali metal with atomic number 3 and symbol Li.
