Elements

With the incredible amount of secondary content on the World Wide Web, it is always a rare and extremely delightful experience to stumble on a website with not just excellent primary content but a very high "coolness" coefficient. Today is one such day where I came across the website on Elementymology (by Peter van der Krogt). As the name suggests, it has the detailed etymology of the different elements on the periodic table and does a very excellent job of it (from what I can tell).

Absolutely do check it out!
