Element Breakdown

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.

V

Vanadium (V)

Atomic number 23 Transition Metal

Vanadium has been discovered twice! It was first found in 1801 by Andrés Manuel del Río in Mexico, but he was talked out of his discovery by other scientists.

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.

Y

Yttrium (Y)

Atomic number 39 Transition Metal

Yttrium is one of four elements named after the tiny Swedish village of Ytterby (the others are ytterbium, terbium, and erbium — talk about a famous village!).
