Element Breakdown

Po

Polonium (Po)

Atomic number 84 Metalloid

Polonium was discovered in 1898 by Marie and Pierre Curie, who named it after Marie's homeland of Poland — at the time, Poland did not exist as an independent country, so the name was also a political statement supporting Polish independence.

Li

Lithium (Li)

Atomic number 3 Alkali Metal

Lithium is the lightest metal on the periodic table — so light it actually floats on water! Discovered in 1817 by Johan August Arfwedson in a Swedish mine, its name comes from the Greek word 'lithos,' meaning stone.

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.
