What is the best element?

Well currently I’m interested in vanadium since it’s very present in various sea squirts, and their unique blood cells give their vascular fluid a mustard yellow color. Trying to get signed off to research this for my senior project. There’s surprisingly very little known about why these animals have so much vanadium (it’s debated if its hemovanabins are even a true alternative to hemoglobin, but more from lack of research then opposing studies). I found some article from last century in German and that’s it pretty much

Though In general I like cobalt a lot

idk if it's my favorite but i like how fluorine is so reactive that it forms incredibly stable molecules. C-F bonds are unbreakable by the body, so they're stable biologically.

yeah now that I think of it, it was pretty much established as taboo in organic chem to use fluorine. Alkyl halide synthesis exclusively used chlorine or bromine

Elemental fluorine maybe, but there are lots of fluorination agents in organic chemistry. A lot of drugs have F.

Carbon is the worst element because it is the building block of life. It is obviously preferable that life never developed in the first place. Fuck off.

Xenon. It makes for cool lights, is denser than air, and a noble gas so it doesn't really chemically react with anything in nature, but if you huff it it's a painkiller. It's both my favorite element and how I want to die, by huffing it.

people are looking into using scandium-44 for PET imaging because its secular equilibrium with Ti-44 means it can be produced through a radioisotope generator fairly easily, it's got the right half life for it (around 4 hours,) and it forms stable complexes with really common bifunctional chelators like DOTA, so it can be used for specific targeting of tumors via antibody-based PET

that's the only other possible application I've heard for it, though there might be more outside radiochem

>>13464391
Uranium, besides all the well known pop culture stuff about it, it's got other nice properties, like its fluorescence under UV which found use in uranium glass, and its interesting speciation behavior - at low pH the UO2^2+ species tends to be colorless, but as you go higher and it starts to form polynuclear species (and ternary species depending on the medium) the solution gets more yellow until the uranium precipitates out around pH 7 and up

Plutonium is probably my second for similar reasons to U except it's got a bunch of cool colors depending on the oxidation state

Oxygen is pretty great. It's easily the most important after hydrogen, arguably before even carbon.

>abundant in liquid form as the electronegative, polar making atom in water
>abundant in gaseous form as the key component to metabolism while so being the doom to anaerobic organisms
>abundant in solid form as silicate oxides, making up much of the Earth's planetary structure

You can really just keep going on. Carbon dioxide to nitrates to phosphates, nearly all the big hitters contain oxygen.

Carbon, because that birch is so complex it gets its own field of study as large as all the rest of the other elements fields combined. Gotta respect the game

That said, best name is radon, cause it sounds like radar, and thays cool.
