Answer:
Lithium metal is in group 1 in the periodic table,therefore it is highly reactive.This explains why it is stored to avoid any contact with oxygen.
When it comes in contact with air ,it violently reacts with it .It is burned in air to form an oxide of lithium oxide which is white.The reaction is as shown below:
Lithium + Oxygen ⇒ Lithium Oxide
4Li (s) + O₂ (g) ⇒ 2 Li₂O (s)
