It’s Sunday, which can mean only one thing – Time for a new competition!
And it’s a nice easy one… Just tell me what’s your favorite chemical element and why?
The best, most imaginative answer will of course win a prize. Try looking at the excellent periodic videos or webelements websites if you need inspiration. Personally I’m partial to a bit of Lawrencium…

my favorite element is helium because it is inert gas and does not react with anything and it is non-toxic, non-flammable gas as well.

ok ok i got it Al Aluminium it has Al which reminds me of alkene a rather intersting subject and it reminds me of that famous slogan on miss monks door: “were ALkene Chemists”
simply classic…

My reason is quite weak but here we go…my favourite element is Mercury (Hg), because it reminds me of Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of Queen and in my opinion, the best singer that has ever lived.
(Although his real name was Farrokh Bulsara, he didn’t change his name to Mercury because it was his favourite element, he changed it to Mercury because that was the name of Queen’s record label at the time)
