Element Breakdown
Tantalum (Ta)
Tantalum is named after Tantalus from Greek mythology, who was condemned to stand in water beneath fruit trees but could never eat or drink — the water and fruit always moved just out of reach.
Vanadium (V)
Vanadium has been discovered twice! It was first found in 1801 by Andrés Manuel del Río in Mexico, but he was talked out of his discovery by other scientists.
Iodine (I)
Iodine was discovered by accident in 1811 when Bernard Courtois, a French saltpeter manufacturer, added too much sulfuric acid to seaweed ash and saw beautiful violet fumes rising up.
Aluminum (Al)
Aluminum (or aluminium, depending on where you live) was once more valuable than gold! In the 1800s, before scientists figured out how to mass-produce it, Napoleon III served his most honored guests with aluminum cutlery while everyone else got gold.
Nitrogen (N)
Nitrogen makes up about 78% of the air you are breathing right now, yet you barely notice it.
