Dedicated to my family, I extend this book as a tribute. May you gain knowledge and understanding of the constituents, properties, and functions of Earth's elements.
Acknowledgment
First and foremost, I express gratitude to GOD for guiding me on this journey. Secondly, heartfelt thanks extend to my wife and children for their unwavering support in pursuit of my goals and dreams. I also hold appreciation for the friends and family who have lent their ears and encouragement, showcasing the great power of a strong support system. My end goal is to inform everyone about the elements of the earth and raise awareness of the frequent discoveries of new elements and how they are used. A special acknowledgment to my mentor, Ryan, whose influence has left an indelible mark on my book. Being part of this historic creation, shaping an intellectual form of art, fills me with genuine gratitude and inspiration for all.
About the Author
Born on a scorching summer day in Chicago, Illinois, Jamale Dixon developed a passion for reading and crafting poems. Scientific literature, with its emphasis on experimentation, holds a special place in his heart. Jamale believes in the fundamental role of reading and is dedicated to a lifelong journey of acquiring and comprehending new knowledge.
Preface
This book is a homage to all the people so they may know about the periodic elements and learn from their properties. It is quite fascinating to know about these elements and how they behave chemically. Once we know this, it becomes quite easy to develop an interest in science and understand how the elements enhance our lives in different ways.
To fulfill these purposes, I have divided each element into four main parts and ensured that it fits in a single page. First is an introduction of the element, in relation to the periodic table, along with a brief history, followed by the physical and chemical properties. At the end of the page, I have briefly explained the industrial and functional uses of these elements — including any interesting facts that may make the learning experience memorable.
Given how I have structured this book, it will allow not only young children to understand how the elements play a vital role in our lives, but also allow them to engage in discussions with adults about the elements. Adults on the other hand will be able to develop a mature understanding that shall help when explaining to children. May your learning experience be memorable and enjoyable! Here’s to Science!

Hydrogen is the lightest and most abundant element in the universe. As the primary constituent of stars, hydrogen is the ultimate cosmic fuel. Its atomic number is one since it only consists of one proton and one electron.
Chemical Properties:
It is highly flammable and can ignite in the presence of oxygen, producing water vapor as a byproduct.
Hydrogen is the only element that can exist in three isotopic forms, with the most common being protium, followed by deuterium and tritium.
Physical Properties:
Hydrogen is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas.
