Element Breakdown
Uranium (U)
Uranium was discovered in 1789 by Martin Heinrich Klaproth, who named it after the planet Uranus, which had been discovered just eight years earlier.
Rubidium (Rb)
Rubidium was discovered in 1861 by Robert Bunsen (yes, the Bunsen burner guy) and Gustav Kirchhoff using a brand-new technique called spectroscopy — they identified it by the beautiful deep red spectral lines it produced.
Carbon (C)
Carbon is the element of life itself.
Hydrogen (H)
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.
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.
