Element Breakdown
Fluorine (F)
Fluorine is the most reactive element on the entire periodic table — it attacks almost everything it touches! Discovered in 1886 by Henri Moissan after decades of chemists injuring or even dying trying to isolate it, fluorine is a pale yellow gas that is extremely dangerous in its pure form.
Osmium (Os)
Osmium is the densest naturally occurring element — a cube of osmium the size of a baseball would weigh about 14 kilograms (31 pounds)! Discovered in 1803 by Smithson Tennant, osmium gets its name from the Greek 'osme,' meaning smell, because osmium tetroxide has a strong, unpleasant chlorine-like odor and is highly toxic.
Silicon (Si)
Silicon is the element that powers the digital age.
Lithium (Li)
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.
