Periodic Table Elements (Part 1)
Why do some elements on the periodic table have weird symbols that don't match their names? Calvus explains the names and symbols of 12 different elements from the periodic table: gold (Au), silver (Ag), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), lead (Pb), tin (Sn), potassium (K), hydrogen (H), helium (He), lithium (Li), mercury (Hg), and oxygen (O). Rufus struggles to name a single actual element from the table.
There are still more interesting etymological tales to tell about the periodic table, so stay tuned for another video on this topic later!
