Element Breakdown
Sodium (Na)
Sodium's symbol 'Na' comes from the Latin word 'natrium,' which is why it does not match its English name at all.
Phosphorus (P)
Phosphorus has one of the wildest discovery stories in chemistry.
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.
Indium (In)
Indium was discovered in 1863 by Ferdinand Reich and Hieronymus Theodor Richter, who identified it by the brilliant indigo-blue spectral line it produced — that is where the name 'indium' comes from.
