Element Breakdown
Potassium (K)
Potassium's symbol 'K' comes from 'kalium,' its Latin name, which traces back to the Arabic word 'qali' meaning plant ashes — because potassium was originally extracted from wood ash.
Astatine (At)
Astatine is the rarest naturally occurring element — at any given moment, there are only about 25 grams of astatine in the entire Earth's crust.
Hydrogen (H)
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.
Erbium (Er)
Erbium is the third element named after the village of Ytterby, Sweden.
Iodine (I)
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.
Neon (Ne)
Neon is the element that lights up the night.
