Element Breakdown

Ni

Nickel (Ni)

Atomic number 28 Transition Metal

Nickel was named by frustrated Swedish miners who found a copper-colored ore that refused to yield any copper.

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.

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.
