    ● Picture
    ● Brief Description (When, where, and how is was discovered, and uses.)

    1
    Hydrogen
    H
    1.00794

    Hydrogen was recognized as an element in 1766 by Henry Cavendish in


    London, England but was first produced by Robert Boyle in 1671. It was
    discovered when Robert mixed metals with acids and was artificially
    produced. Hydrogen is added to fats and oils, and its liquid form, and
    when combined with liquid oxygen creates rocket fuel.

    2
    Helium
    He
    4.002602

    Helium was discovered in 1868 by William Ramsay in London,


    England when treating cleveite, a uranium material, with mineral acids.
    It’s used to inflate blimps, balloons, and as an inert shield for arc
    welding.

    3
    Lithium
    Li
    6.941

    Lithium was discovered in 1817 by Johann Arfvedson in Stockholm,


    Sweden, during an analysis of petalite. This element is used for making
    special glasses and ceramics, including Mount Palomar telescope’s 200
    inch mirror.

    4
    Beryllium
    Be
    9.012182

    Beryllium was first discovered in 1797 by Nicholas Vauquelin in France when he did a chemical
    analysis on two minerals, beryl and emerald. It is used to make windows for X-ray tubes, and as
    a moderator in nuclear reactors.

    5
    Boron
    B
    10.811

    Boron was first discovered in 1808 by Joseph Lussac and Louis Thénard
    in France, when combining boric acid with potassium. Boron is used in
    pyrotechnics and flares, and is some rockets as an ignition source.

    6
    Carbon
    C
    12.0107

    Carbon was discovered during prehistoric times in 3750 BC and is used


    as graphite, diamonds, and as a fuel.

    7
    Nitrogen
    N
    14.0067

    Nitrogen was discovered in 1772 by Daniel Rutherford in Scotland,


    when he removed oxygen and carbon dioxide from air and showed that
    the gas wouldn’t support living organisms. It is used to produce
    ammonia and as a protective shield in the semiconductor industry.

    8
    Oxygen
    O
    15.9994
    Oxygen was first discovered in 1774 by Joseph Priestley in England, when he heated lead and
    mercury oxides. It’s used to burn away impurities in molten pig iron to produce steel, combined
    with acetylene to produce a hot flame for welding, and mixed with liquid hydrogen to create
    rocket fuel.
    9
    Fluorine
    F
    18.9984032

    Fluorine was discovered in 1886 by Henri Moissan in France through the


    electrolysis of potassium fluoride and hydrofluoric acid. Fluorine is used
    in processing nuclear fuel, creating plastics such as Teflon, and in
    toothpaste and drinking water to prevent dental cavities.

    10
    Neon
    Ne
    20.1797

    Neon was discovered in 1898 by William Ramsay and Morris Travers in


    London, England when working with liquefied air. It’s used for high
    voltage indicators, as a cryogenic refrigerant, and in advertising signs.

    11
    Sodium
    Na
    22.98976928

    Sodium was discovered in 1807 by Humphrey Davy in England through


    the electrolysis of caustic soda. It is used in the production of titanium,
    sodamide, sodium peroxide, and sodium hydride, and as a coolant for
    nuclear reactors.

    12
    Magnesium
    Mg
    24.3050
    Magnesium was discovered in 1755 by Humphrey Davy in England through the electrolysis of a
    mixture of magnesium oxide and mercuric oxide. It’s used in pyrotechnics, flares, and
    photographic flashbulbs.

    13
    Aluminum
    Al
    26.9815386

    Aluminum was discovered in 1825 by Hans Oersted in Denmark when he


    reacted aluminum chloride with potassium amalgam and heating the
    resulting aluminium amalgam under reduced pressure. It is used in many
    products: cans, parts of airplanes, rockets, all items that require a strong,
    light material.

    14
    Silicon
    Si
    28.0855

    Silicon was discovered in 1824 by Jöns Jacob Berzelius in Sweden when


    heating chips of potassium in a silica container and washing away the
    residual by-products. It’s used in the manufacture of glass and bricks.

    15
    Phosphorus
    P
    30.973762

    Phosphorus was discovered in 1669 by Hennig Brand in Germany, when


    boiling. filtering, and processing as many as 60 buckets of urine. It is used in
    soft drinks, and to create compounds, such as triple superphosphate
    fertilizer.

    16
    Sulfur
    S
    32.065
    Sulfur was discovered in ancient times but became an element in 1777 when Antoine Lavoisier
    convinced the scientific community that sulfur was an element. It’s used to manufacture sulfuric
    acid, which is used in many industrial processes, to create fertilizers, and lead-acid batteries.

    17
    Chlorine
    Cl
    35.453

    Chlorine was discovered in 1774 by Carl Scheele in Sweden when he


    combined the mineral pyrolusite with hydrochloric acid. It’s used as an

    18
    Argon
    Ar
    39.948

    Argon was discovered in 1894 by William Ramsay and Rayleigh at UCL in


    London, England when removing nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and
    water from clean air. It’s used to fill incandescent and fluorescent light

    K
    39.0983

    Potassium was discovered in 1807 by Humphrey Davy in England


    through the electrolysis of molten caustic potash. It’s used with oxygen to
