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.

Rb

Rubidium (Rb)

Atomic number 37 Alkali Metal

Rubidium was discovered in 1861 by Robert Bunsen (yes, the Bunsen burner guy) and Gustav Kirchhoff using a brand-new technique called spectroscopy — they identified it by the beautiful deep red spectral lines it produced.

I

Iodine (I)

Atomic number 53 Halogen

Iodine was discovered by accident in 1811 when Bernard Courtois, a French saltpeter manufacturer, added too much sulfuric acid to seaweed ash and saw beautiful violet fumes rising up.

S

Sulfur (S)

Atomic number 16 Nonmetal

Sulfur is one of the oldest known elements — ancient civilizations called it 'brimstone' and associated it with volcanoes and the underworld.
