For extended-release lithium tablets, the recommended starting dose is 900 mg twice daily. ", "A: Lithium is a medication that is used to treat manic depression. Some of the more common side effects seen with lithium are tremor, diarrhea, vomiting, drowsiness, muscle weakness, anorexia, nausea, blurred vision, dry mouth, and fatigue. A: Lithium (Lithobid) is an antimanic agent used for the treatment of mania associated with bipolar disorder. According to the National Institutes of Health, lithium works by decreasing abnormal brain activity. The most common side effects with lithium are hand tremor, thirst, and nausea.", "Lithium salts have been used in medical practice for about 150 years. Lithium salts were first used to treat gout. It was noted in the 1880s that lithium was somewhat effective in the treatment of depression, and in the 1950s lithium was seen to improve the symptoms of bipolar disease. Purpose. Lithium is commonly used to treat mania and bipolar depression (manic-depression or bipolar disorder). Less commonly, lithium is used to treat certain mood disorders, such as schizoaffective disorder and aggressive behavior and emotional instability in adults and children." ], "url": [ "http://www.webmd.com/bipolar-disorder/bipolar-disorder-lithium", "http://bipolar-disorder.emedtv.com/lithium/lithium-150-mg.html", "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_(medication)", "http://bipolar-disorder.emedtv.com/lithium/lithium-150-mg.html", "http://www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/lithium", "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium", "http://bipolar-disorder.emedtv.com/lithium/liquid-lithium.html", "http://www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/lithium", "http://www.minddisorders.com/Kau-Nu/Lithium-carbonate.html" ] }

Polarity underlies a number of physical properties including surface tension, solubility, and melting and boiling points. 1 Non-polar bonds occur when the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms is less than 0.4. 2 Polar bonds occur when the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms is between 0.4 and 1.7. 3 Ionic bonds occur when the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms is greater than 1.7.", "Polarity.

Polarity is a term used in electricity, magnetism, and electronic signaling. Suppose there is a constant voltage, also called an electric potential or electromotive force (EMF), between two objects or points. In such a situation, one of the objects or points (poles) has more electrons than the other. A magnetic field is characterized by poles called north and south. Magnetic polarity refers to the orientation of these poles in space. In digital communications, data is composed of short-duration pulses called bit s (binary digits).", "polarity. n, pl-ties. 1. the condition of having poles. 2. (General Physics) the condition of a body or system in which it has opposing physical properties at different points, esp magnetic poles or electric charge. 3.
