Element Breakdown

Ga

Gallium (Ga)

Atomic number 31 Metal

Gallium is the element that melts in your hand — literally.

U

Uranium (U)

Atomic number 92 Actinide

Uranium was discovered in 1789 by Martin Heinrich Klaproth, who named it after the planet Uranus, which had been discovered just eight years earlier.

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.

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.

F

Fluorine (F)

Atomic number 9 Halogen

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.

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.

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.
