From finding the common Iron and Copper, to the rare Gold, Platinum, Osmium & Iridium, to even ultra rare substances such as Plutonium, Neptunium and Element 118, we compare the rarity of finding these Elements and Substances (there is Tritium) in this visual probability science chemistry comparison. Disclaimer: All numbers rounded up to 3 significant figures. Probability listed is only for Earth's Crust and for naturally occuring elements. Images shown may not reflect the real images. Probability for the last few items are merely estimates. The final item is calculated based on the probability of selecting any one atom in any unit of time during the 2 billion years of Earth crust formation. Numeric calculation can be found in the link below.
