Element Breakdown

K

Potassium (K)

Atomic number 19 Alkali Metal

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.

At

Astatine (At)

Atomic number 85 Halogen

Astatine is the rarest naturally occurring element — at any given moment, there are only about 25 grams of astatine in the entire Earth's crust.

H

Hydrogen (H)

Atomic number 1 Nonmetal

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.

Er

Erbium (Er)

Atomic number 68 Lanthanide

Erbium is the third element named after the village of Ytterby, Sweden.

I

Iodine (I)

Atomic number 53 Halogen

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.

Ne

Neon (Ne)

Atomic number 10 Noble Gas

Neon is the element that lights up the night.
