Element Breakdown
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.
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.
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.
Lithium (Li)
Lithium is the lightest metal on the periodic table — so light it actually floats on water! Discovered in 1817 by Johan August Arfwedson in a Swedish mine, its name comes from the Greek word 'lithos,' meaning stone.
