My favorite element is... Hmm, that's a tough one. I have so many! Um, let's see...
I absolutely love hydrogen because it's the most abundant thing on Earth, and we wouldn't have water without it. Without water, we wouldn't have life. Nitrogen is interesting for a similar reason, because Earth's atmosphere would be extremely flammable and hard to breathe without it making up 78% of the air.
Pretty much all of the alkali metals are cool because of how they react with water to produce alkali metal hydroxides, hydrogen gas, and heat. Potassium is especially cool—it reacts with water almost instantly. Plus you can combine the different metals into alloys like Sodium-Potassium alloy (NaK).
I do so love tungsten because of its insanely high melting point of over 3,400°C. Carbon is interesting too, since it can turn into so many different things, from graphite to diamonds, while still being the same element. Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, Radon, and Oganesson are all interesting because of their non-reactive nature, though the last two are radioactive.
Another favorite is osmium, the densest naturally occurring element we know of. It's basically the perfect material for jewelry. And of course, there's gold, which is great for semiconductors (and not much else). Honorable mentions go out to Mercury and Bromine for being liquid at STP, and Gallium for coming close to it.

i truly do not have an answer for this...

Arsenic is also pretty sweet.
also absolutely treasuring this response and it helped me some things and barely learn about the rest <3Cam Mitchell wrote: 6an2h
