Element Breakdown

K

Potassium (K)

Atomic number 19 Alkali Metal

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.

At

Astatine (At)

Atomic number 85 Halogen

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.

H

Hydrogen (H)

Atomic number 1 Nonmetal

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.

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!).

N

Nitrogen (N)

Atomic number 7 Nonmetal

Nitrogen makes up about 78% of the air you are breathing right now, yet you barely notice it.
