Element Breakdown

Rb

Rubidium (Rb)

Atomic number 37 Alkali Metal

Rubidium was discovered in 1861 by Robert Bunsen (yes, the Bunsen burner guy) and Gustav Kirchhoff using a brand-new technique called spectroscopy — they identified it by the beautiful deep red spectral lines it produced.

Y

Yttrium (Y)

Atomic number 39 Transition Metal

Yttrium is one of four elements named after the tiny Swedish village of Ytterby (the others are ytterbium, terbium, and erbium — talk about a famous village!).

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.

N

Nitrogen (N)

Atomic number 7 Nonmetal

Nitrogen makes up about 78% of the air you are breathing right now, yet you barely notice it.
