Element Breakdown

S

Sulfur (S)

Atomic number 16 Nonmetal

Sulfur is one of the oldest known elements — ancient civilizations called it 'brimstone' and associated it with volcanoes and the underworld.

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.

Ir

Iridium (Ir)

Atomic number 77 Transition Metal

Iridium is named after Iris, the Greek goddess of the rainbow, because its salts produce a wide variety of vibrant colors.

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.

Eu

Europium (Eu)

Atomic number 63 Lanthanide

Europium is named after the continent of Europe.

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!).
