Element Breakdown
Copper (Cu)
Copper's symbol 'Cu' comes from 'cuprum,' the Latin name derived from Cyprus, where ancient Romans mined huge quantities of it.
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.
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.
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.
