Element Breakdown

Dy

Dysprosium (Dy)

Atomic number 66 Lanthanide

Dysprosium gets its name from the Greek word 'dysprositos,' meaning 'hard to get at,' because it was extremely difficult to isolate from other rare earth elements.

O

Oxygen (O)

Atomic number 8 Nonmetal

Oxygen is the element you literally cannot live without.

Li

Lithium (Li)

Atomic number 3 Alkali Metal

Lithium is the lightest metal on the periodic table — so light it actually floats on water! Discovered in 1817 by Johan August Arfwedson in a Swedish mine, its name comes from the Greek word 'lithos,' meaning stone.

P

Phosphorus (P)

Atomic number 15 Nonmetal

Phosphorus has one of the wildest discovery stories in chemistry.

H

Hydrogen (H)

Atomic number 1 Nonmetal

Hydrogen is the lightest and most abundant element in the entire universe — about 75% of all normal matter is hydrogen! It was first recognized as a distinct element in 1766 by Henry Cavendish, who called it 'inflammable air' because it catches fire so easily.

In

Indium (In)

Atomic number 49 Metal

Indium was discovered in 1863 by Ferdinand Reich and Hieronymus Theodor Richter, who identified it by the brilliant indigo-blue spectral line it produced — that is where the name 'indium' comes from.
