Your Favorite Element Thread

[kurchatovium]

Whats your favorite element of the periodic table? I guess mine would have to be Kurchatovium (or Rutherfordium if you prefer).😀

 

[PBL]

Cobalt. Its got that hot (err cold) blue color to it. Either that or Unobtanium 😉

 

[JoBelle]

Sodium.

BOOM

Jo

 

[Dave2112]

Cannabinnium 420. 😀

I always liked that gas in the nobel column, it began with an X....chemistry class was many moon ago

 

[milagros317]

I am rather fond of Oxygen (O). In fact, I couldn't live without it.😀

 

[AffectionateDan]

I can't believe DVNC hasn't posted this already...

Or at least ONE of ya'll, ennyhoo...

How about Adamantium?

Then again, there's always Nitrous Oxide. 😉 🙄

 

[alex_ist_tot]

Fluorine

Aggressive and hard to handle….just like me sometimes 😀

That would have to be xenon.

Of course you realize...

I am rather fond of Oxygen (O). In fact, I couldn't live without it.😀

...That you're breathing more nitrogen than you are oxygen, don't you?

 

[guitman69]

It's got to be number 79...GOLD!!!

I loooooove Gooooold! I love it so much, I lost my member in an unfortunate smelting accident.

Yep, that's some pretty cool stuff, bub.😛

Yes. But here's the deal: I'll give up the nitrogen, and breathe pure oxygen, and you give up the oxygen, and breathe pure nitrogen. We'll see who lasts longer. 😀

 

[AffectionateDan]

ROFL!

Good point!

[Admiral Trouser]

Potassium.

Its all pretty and then BOOM! lol.....

To do with the Oxygen and Nitrogen (and also because I can't work out how to quote things) about who would last longer.... just a quick scientific lesson that I heard somwhere.... yes of course the guy with the Oxygen would last longer... but the concentration of Oxygen and Nitrogen is just right right now? Oxygen is at about 22 / 23 % (can't remember exactly) but if it weren't....

Less than 20%, you'd have a bit of trouble breathing.
More than 25%, you'd have an increased chance of suddenly catching on fire... eventually you'd have a good chance of spontaneously combusting if you ever got too much static electricity....
And if the concentration of oxygen is too high in Scuba Gear... say pure for example... it actually becomes poisinous at 20 mtrs below sea level.

And for me its Mercury.

 

[AffectionateDan]

A-HA!

And nitrogen doesn't support combustion! So, all's I'd hafta do is drag my feet on the carpet a little bit and poke ya!

 

[The Pianist]

Hehe, I dunno how well it would work... I read it in a school Chemistry book... but those things are wrong sooo many times...........

 

[P50]

Canardium

 

[grippedchimp]

Nobody mentioned Mercury! However, it's my favourite element. Liquid metal is always cool in my book. However, dunno if reflects my personality, as I'm not very mercurial...

 

[kwildoctr]

Personally, I've always preferred Einsteinium, although Lawrencium is pretty cool, too.

[kurchatovium]

Doesn't anybody love Plutonium? Poor Plutonium always unloved and misunderstood.

 

[AffectionateDan]

Ah, and then there's those little-known, unsung elements...

...for instance.

Unbelievium (the stongest material that has ever been or ever will be)

Featherygen (the unstable due to extreme ticklishness element)

and of course, who could forget...

Sarcastine (an element present in so MANY of these threads!)
