Imagine Francium in water Anyways, praseodymium is my favourite. I always win at hangman

[WhiteWeasel]

U-235, as long as you don't build your reactor in flood or earthquake zones, it provides lots of safe power.

Carbon!!!!!

[Sillychris]

Tough question, but I think I tend towards iron. Ps, thanks for all the iron, moon!

[Skyler4856]

Sodium, and Dihydrogen-monoxide

[MrZayas1]

I think bismuth is the coolest element ever, it looks really cool and forms in geometric shapes!

[SSR Kermit]

Unununium

obvious reasons. I want a car built from unununium

[Wormhol3]

Gold. Because it's fraking gold baby!

[Accelerando]

Carbon! It's black gold.

[Palladium Corp]

The element of surprise...

Seriously however, it has to be hydrogen because everything is made from it. (and time)

[KASASpace]

Extended table, or current?

If extended, then unbihexium, as it is the center of the theoretical Island of Stability, which I'm quite sure Seaborg himself proposed.

If current, then Hyrdogen. It is the simplest of all elements, and as the saying goes, "the best solution is often the simplest"

It has many uses, from organic chemistry to rocketry to the fusion that powers Sol.

It's got to be Carbon for me. It's just so versatile!

Francium-It's unstable. Like my personality...wait what? Who said that?!

[Bacterius]

Silver, because Ag and it's shiny and.. stuff. Plus its atomic number is 47, which is the largest prime below 49, which is 7^2 and 7 is my favorite number, so that settles it.

[Pigbear]

Argon, its used in stuff from industrial fire extinguishers, Cesium containment, to Ion Drives, Although Xenon is also used for Ion Drives.

[78stonewobble]

Lithium ... because of the the song... And helps manic depressives... Now if only the guy making the song had tried it.

[TerLoki]

Tungsten, it can take the heat when nothing else can.

Lithium is pretty cool too, for being reactive, a metal, and useful for fusion all at once.

EDIT - changed my mind, it's got to be Carbon

[Awaras]

[CaptainKipard]

I like Americium, Berkelium, Californium and Polonium as well as all the "noble" gases because they remind me of human vanity.

[fredinno]

Francium.

[QuesoExplosivo]

Gallium as well. Does one country need two elements?

My favorite is carbon.

[HoloYolo]

Plutonium. Why? Won wars and democracy.
