This is a composite of six images showing chemical elements, displayed in two rows of three. The top row shows (from left to right): (a) aluminium, (b) sodium, (c) sulfur. The bottom row shows: (d) bromine, (e) chlorine, (f) copper. Note that sodium is extremely reactive and as shown here, it is kept under oil to prevent reaction with air or water.
