So what is your favourite element? It's a pity you can't have more than 100 poll options.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just did this Gav in school!

my favourite is 'SOPHIUM' because once, joseph was saying random elements and i was being irritating (i have to admit) and he got really annoyed then shouted, "SOPHIUM!! STOP IT!! ...Ughhhh!" In case you're wondering, the bit where he said "Ughhhh!" was when I kept laughing because he said sophium instead of sophie.

In truth, though, my favourite probably is Oxygen - we can't live without it!

Dysprosium, due to its applications as a laser material.

No, we need Nitrogen to live. The air is 79% nitrogen

78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% other gases including neon, water vapour, krypton, xenon and carbon dioxide I think.

yeah but can we actually live without oxygen? i thought we couldnt

There's lots of elements we couldn't live without. So it's not the best criterion.

Look at some sulphur.



There's your answer.

its a toss up between my kettle and my immersion heater..........guess who's back, back again..............

I've decide to vote for the Element Formerly Known as eka-thallium http://www.webelements.com/ununtrium,- a few atoms have been made, but so far it's only referred to by its number (113)

My favourite is copper.

P.S. Have you guys got any idea how to get copper into a machine that dosen't accept copper coins? (It dosen't have to be a coin, just so long as it's made from copper.)

Wikipedia quote:
"The coin is minted from a cupronickel alloy of 75% copper and 25% nickel."

Whatever, it dosen't have to be fully copper, just containing copper. Any ideas?

Sorry, your goal is just to get some copper inside one of these machines? What?

I forgot to say that the article quoted is about the 50p coin.

Weird. Random. Strange.

Although we call 1p & 2p coins coppers, they're really made of steel, copper-plated (check with a magnet )
