Small quantities of lithium are often manipulated in glove boxes with a recirculating, inert gaseous atmosphere. Note that nitrogen is not an inert gas to lithium, although it may be inert in many organic or other reactions. Therefore, argon or helium are typically the gases recirculated.

Lithium is not a inert gas because it has one electron in its last shell while to get a inert gas configuration the element should have 2 or 8 electrons in its last shell.
