Element Breakdown
Cobalt (Co)
Cobalt gets its name from 'kobold,' a mischievous goblin in German folklore.
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.
Potassium (K)
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.
