Element Breakdown

Li

Lithium (Li)

Atomic number 3 Alkali Metal

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.

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.

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.

Si

Silicon (Si)

Atomic number 14 Metalloid

Silicon is the element that powers the digital age.

Al

Aluminum (Al)

Atomic number 13 Metal

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.

Na

Sodium (Na)

Atomic number 11 Alkali Metal

Sodium's symbol 'Na' comes from the Latin word 'natrium,' which is why it does not match its English name at all.
