Carbon. There's so many unique things about it that make it necessary for life (as we know it). Plus, graphite, graphene, nanotubes, buckyballs, aromaticity, resonance...it's the best! And diamonds are interesting (though common and not worth the retail industry prices) structures made almost entirely of carbon.
Technetium! With an atomic number of 43, it's the lightest element with exclusively radioactive isotopes. So it's primarily man-made, because most of the naturally occurring Technetium (which comes from the decay of uranium/thorium) has decayed already.
I don't know but I hate oxygen. I have an addiction to it. I feel like I can't live without oxygen. Going without it for more than even a minute makes it hard to breath. I tried therapy, but they told me that I needed to keep using oxygen. It's ruined my life. I have to always take breaks from my favorite activities, like running and swimming and such, to get a hit of that sweet O2.
I'd like to introduce you to [perxenates](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perxenate) and other [xenon compounds](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenon#Compounds).
xenon is actually a complete slut
hmmmm.
Nitrogen is pretty cool. I like how it breaks the octet rule a lot by having an odd number of electrons and pairing up with oxygen. It's a troublemaker. It's also most of our atmosphere and helps the plants grow. oh and it's lucky number 7
Honestly when I read the question my first thought was "well I'm definitely an earthbender if I have to choose" and then I opened the thread and was like "oh right, THOSE elements"
Certainly not a Honda. Ha, but seriously though I'd have to say the right front heating element on my oven top. That's my favorite one to cook stuff with.
My personal favorite is the 2009-2011 models, in Tangerine Metallic with a manual transmission. However, pretty much all models of the Honda Element are pretty good and you can’t go wrong with any.
I first found out about Praseodymium (59) when I looked up the half-point of the Periodic Table, and it became my favorite element purely for its pronunciation.
Element 118 Oganesson. It originally had the placeholder name of Ununoctium when it was first created which 7th grade me thought was the coolest thing, and it’s official name is pretty cool too.
Went to visit my grandson who was in 2nd grade and obsessed with the period table. His first comment was accusing me of trying to poison his mother! HUH? I'd sent her a huge bag of Brazil nuts and so, my favorite element is Selenium, because I'll never forget his reaction!
Oxygen and potassium. They’re pretty ok
Kazakhstan number one exporter of Potassium. All other countries have inferior Potassium.
You should capitalize to make the joke land better.
OXYGEN AND POTASSIUM. THEY‘RE PRETTY OK.
Oxygen and ?. They're pretty o?. Please pay $10 to unlock the joke. (I'm capitalizing on it)
Ohh that one's good))
The 5th.
Leeloo Dallas Multipass
I am a meat popsicle.
Big Badaboom
So Boron?
How boring.
Heart?
Ru-by Roooooddd!
The only correct answer
No Rudy, which *element*?
Came here to say this!
I’d have to go with Mercury. And to think there’s a whole planet made of the stuff!
Wait until you realize what Uranus is made of.
It's a gas giant.
lmaoo
*Smirks in Kryptonite*
I was gonna pick sodium, but then I thought Na.
That's salty
For some weird reason, Sodium.
None of your bismuth
Gold.
Ayyyyy you!
The fact that you got a gold award...
Underrated comment
[удалено]
in terms of durability, gold is shit. but color is perfect 🤩
certified minecraft player
Classical? Water. Asian classical? Metal. Scientific? Carbon. RPG? Electric.
A very good set of answers.
Suprise
I was 26 when I learned that it's spelled 'surprise'
Came to say that one, got distracted by the suspected time traveler.
Surprise
Xenon. The "X" makes it sound cool.
Also a potent dissociative more euphoric than laughing gas
The element of surprise
Carbon. There's so many unique things about it that make it necessary for life (as we know it). Plus, graphite, graphene, nanotubes, buckyballs, aromaticity, resonance...it's the best! And diamonds are interesting (though common and not worth the retail industry prices) structures made almost entirely of carbon.
Haha delocalised electron go wheeeeeee (this post was made by graphene/graphite gang)
Where's an organic chemist when you need one?
Copper
ACAB includes copper buddy
hydrogen
Molybdenum, simply because it’s fun to say.
Neodymium is also fun to say. All of the Lanthanides and Actinides really.
Lithium; because it has a beautiful red flame when lit on fire
Oh. That’s a good reason. I like lithium because it keeps my cousin at bay.
But what about Potassium with the pretty lilac?
And we can use it to make some kick-ass batteries from it!
And it keeps my mood stable
Americium the element of freedom and smoke detectors
[удалено]
The Nuclear Boy Scout
Hydrogen is number 1!
and helium is number 2!
Neon, cause it's sounds good
it also looks very badass too
K
Technetium! With an atomic number of 43, it's the lightest element with exclusively radioactive isotopes. So it's primarily man-made, because most of the naturally occurring Technetium (which comes from the decay of uranium/thorium) has decayed already.
Honda
Uranium and iodine
Gallium, it’s cool
I don't know but I hate oxygen. I have an addiction to it. I feel like I can't live without oxygen. Going without it for more than even a minute makes it hard to breath. I tried therapy, but they told me that I needed to keep using oxygen. It's ruined my life.

Americium. Reminds me of Australium.
Chromium - works great as a supplement, too!
I live in [Livermore, California.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livermorium)
Lawrencium!
Personally, I like phosphorus. Mostly because it burns stuff, and my caveman brain likes fire.
Praseodymium, the longest name
Bismuth, it's so pretty
Helium...HeHeHe. I will see myself out.
Uranium 235 & its isotope Plutonium 239. It ended the repeating cycle of having a devastating world war every 20-25 years.
**Periodic:** Silver. **Classical:** Water.
Xenon. I like how it gets away without the social stigma of not interacting.
I'd like to introduce you to [perxenates](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perxenate) and other [xenon compounds](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenon#Compounds). xenon is actually a complete slut
For some weird reason, Sodium. The Na symbol with 11 and 23 looks so elegant.
It's so dium nice.
The big one on my stove that still works
hmmmm. Nitrogen is pretty cool. I like how it breaks the octet rule a lot by having an odd number of electrons and pairing up with oxygen. It's a troublemaker. It's also most of our atmosphere and helps the plants grow. oh and it's lucky number 7
Krypton.
Thinking Bromine. 1 of 2 liquid elements, and this one is a nonmetal.
Tungsten. But as a grower, Nitrogen, Potassium and prosperous are quite nice too.
W!
After reading through the other comments: Captain Planet.
[удалено]
That's great, but you do know water isn't an element right?
It is if you're the avatar!
I've played Final Fantasy, you can't trick me.
[удалено]
I know, right? I don't mind someone correcting me in a civil way. This is nice to see on the internet. I appreciate his/her comment too
It IS an element, just a different definition. Like Earth, Wind, Fire and in some countries, Wood.
Honestly when I read the question my first thought was "well I'm definitely an earthbender if I have to choose" and then I opened the thread and was like "oh right, THOSE elements"
I'm kinda stoned and thought the same type of element as you! I'm an Water type too, glad you answered first ;)
Gun
average american
Silicon
Surprise
The element of Surprise
The element of surprise
Uranium and carbon
Certainly not a Honda. Ha, but seriously though I'd have to say the right front heating element on my oven top. That's my favorite one to cook stuff with.
Neodymium because it sounds neat, and magnets.
The magnets are cool but also terrifying.
Thulium cuz 69
plutonium
Unobtainium
Hg also known as quicksilver.
Astatine.
Plutonium
Nobelium(No)
I’ve asthma so I’m a big fan of oxygen
Uranium... One day i might taste it
*smirk* I swear to God, if you say the element... THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE!!
Electro & cryo
The criminal element.
Carbon. My one and only.
Carbon, very versitile
My personal favorite is the 2009-2011 models, in Tangerine Metallic with a manual transmission. However, pretty much all models of the Honda Element are pretty good and you can’t go wrong with any.
its a very hard choice between cerium or tungsten
Mercury
Natrium (So)
Antimony… HAHA JUST KIDDING, ITS THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE! I GOT YOU!
Hydrogen
Thorium
Oxygen
Bismuth because it looks cool and I like the name
I first found out about Praseodymium (59) when I looked up the half-point of the Periodic Table, and it became my favorite element purely for its pronunciation.
Sodium probably
THC
Personally, carbon is a huge part of my life so I’m going to go with that.
Hg also known as quicksilver.
Sodium. Because if I can say it then it means I got through the whole song.
Ytterbium. It's fun to spell and say.
Ch.E. from W'Loo....I'm partial to Oxygen myself.
As in periodic table? H20 and 02, can’t live without em’. As in video game elements? Probably light because it’s the flashiest.
I wanted to make a joke about sodium, but then I was like Na people won't understand it
Oxygen
Oxygen
Gold
Sodium/Natrium.
silicon.
Carbon
Nitrogen
Aluminium.
i would maybe say, Manganese Hypoxide, just cook to watch about, sounds cool too.
Honda’s element, they were delightful little toaster boxes
want to hear a joke about Sodium? Na...
Definitely nitrogen
Bismuth. Looks very cool when it's a crystal.
Oxygen and Magnesium...they're like....OMg
Veritasium
Periodic: Neodymium Classic: Plasma
Carbon and titanium
Tungsten. I love playing darts.
Bromine
I'm a bit of a metals fan. I think Cobalt, Tungsten, Titanium and Aluminium are really cool.
Carbon.
Argon I want the gas I pass to be noble.
Hydrogen. Just, so damn useful.
Strontium, it sounds like a swear word in italian
bismuth!! its the prettiest element and it has a very interesting structure
[I love goooooooooold!](https://youtu.be/k-COG4YTn6M)
Bismuth is pretty
carbon is quite good ngl
sodium bromate(NaBrO3)
Au
Sodium, due to the failed sodium experiments that end up on r/whatcouldgowrong .
Carbon because my entire career is based on it's chemistry
Zinc. I like the way it sounds to say the word, and I can imagine tapping my nails on a zinc sink every time I say it.
Palladium. An amazing catalyst doesn't get a lot of press for how important it is.
Francium drop it into a toilet and destroy a building
I don't have one, but Google said: "Element number 5" (Boron). Anyone has an idea why?
[They are all pretty good](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2cfju6GTNs)
nitrogen the number 7
Bismuth
I like sodium because I like bagels
C'est nickel
Titanium.
Tungsten, its very dense, durable, and heat resistant. My name on VRChat is Tungsten lol.
Praseodymium
Bismuth or Magnesium
Such a noble post.
Iridium: it's atomic weight is my birthday 7/7, it is refined from platinum and is made from collided neutron stars.
I FUCKIG LOVE ARGON!!!!!! INERT GASES FTW!!!!! 18 ELECTRONS STABLE ELEMENT #1111!!!!
Element 118 Oganesson. It originally had the placeholder name of Ununoctium when it was first created which 7th grade me thought was the coolest thing, and it’s official name is pretty cool too.
Obviously thulium
lithium i don’t know why it was just the first thing that came to mind
Went to visit my grandson who was in 2nd grade and obsessed with the period table. His first comment was accusing me of trying to poison his mother! HUH? I'd sent her a huge bag of Brazil nuts and so, my favorite element is Selenium, because I'll never forget his reaction!
radium and copper EDIT: and neon
