Element Breakdown

Dy

Dysprosium (Dy)

Atomic number 66 Lanthanide

Dysprosium gets its name from the Greek word 'dysprositos,' meaning 'hard to get at,' because it was extremely difficult to isolate from other rare earth elements.

O

Oxygen (O)

Atomic number 8 Nonmetal

Oxygen is the element you literally cannot live without.

U

Uranium (U)

Atomic number 92 Actinide

Uranium was discovered in 1789 by Martin Heinrich Klaproth, who named it after the planet Uranus, which had been discovered just eight years earlier.

Ga

Atomic number 31 Metal

Gallium is the element that melts in your hand — literally.

La

Lanthanum (La)

Atomic number 57 Lanthanide

Lanthanum is the first of the lanthanides, a group of 15 elements that were so hard to separate from each other that they drove chemists crazy for over a century.

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.
