Element Breakdown
Osmium (Os)
Osmium is the densest naturally occurring element — a cube of osmium the size of a baseball would weigh about 14 kilograms (31 pounds)! Discovered in 1803 by Smithson Tennant, osmium gets its name from the Greek 'osme,' meaning smell, because osmium tetroxide has a strong, unpleasant chlorine-like odor and is highly toxic.
Phosphorus (P)
Phosphorus has one of the wildest discovery stories in chemistry.
Rhenium (Re)
Rhenium was the last stable, naturally occurring element to be discovered, found in 1925 by Walter Noddack, Ida Noddack, and Otto Berg.
Yttrium (Y)
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!).
