Mine are almost all metals:
(no particular order):
Iron, Nickel, Lead, Silicon (metalloid), Carbon (elemental, glassy Carbon version) and to a lesser extent, Aluminium and Copper.

Inspect Element is my favorite
but its probably silicon, not because of le computer science (I hate straight-up, programming it feels mindless, but I like shit in the vein of Matlab) but because it looks cool when pure and like its what rocks are made of.
>>8507717
>Which is your favourite element?
Suprise.
>>8507717
My favourite element is the autism particle
Ive always been fond of carbon.
>>8507717
hydrogen. Because a lot of the periodic table is pissing me off right now. FUCK YOU LANTHANIDES. FUCK YOU ACTINIDES. SUCK A COCK CARBON. EAT A DICK OXYGEN. FELLATE A PHALLUS NITROGEN. FUCK YOU TRANSITION METALS And most of all GO FUCK YOURSELVES POST-TRANSITION METALS!
Seriously fuck post transition metals

>what's your favorite element?
>I really like shitty boring metals and carbon
My fav is unobtanium. it's the rearest ore in the galaxy, next to mythril, adamantium, and of course, runite.
GIT GUD
positronium
Yeah I know it very well, in fact, as a nerd-collector of elements I've bought chips of 99'999% pure Silicon. BTW I noticed years ago after I liked those that in fact, they're all from the Carbon group, with 4 outer valence electrons. Silicon is a very stable element, hence is abundance. Are you into nuclear stability? If you take a look at Wikipedia's most common elements in both the Earth and the Solar System you'll find out that Silicon is quite abundant, slightly less than Iron.

What about dragon and barrows metal?
Uranium is definitely my favourite. It has interesting reactivity and its compounds look noice. Besides, it's radioactive, which is cool.

>Mytrhil was first mentioned in the Lord of the Rings, if I'm not wrong, but even though it's described as light as (I don't remember) and stronger than steel, it's a reference to Silver
Mithril is stronger and lighter than steel, and so rare that it is essentially priceless - Bilbo's shirt being worth more than all the Shire wasn't really an exaggeration! It is not just a reference to silver.
Fluorine is pretty cool considering it can light water on fire
>>8507717
These days, I like Ruthenium.
You're right
Yeah it is. Pretty dangerous, tho. It killed many chemist who tried to isolate it.
Carbon, kind of helps me exist.
Cheapest (yet, fu expensive) member of the Platinum group family. Hard and brittle, resists all acids but not alkali. Interesting choice.
>>8507717
I'm a sucker for nitrogen, an essential for lots of explosives.
>>8507717
Tiberium
>>8507717
I also like metals a lot, especially iron. I think I just like metallurgy.
>>8507717
Caesium, Fluorine, and Polonium.
I like fire a lot, but water is probably my favorite.
>>8510806
Why is that world so fucking small?
>>8510816
I guess it's only as big as the story needs it to be.
>>8510869
Deep.
>>8507717
man, fuck aluminium
Hydrogen is my all around favorite.
>responsible for energy generation in biochemistry (pic related, ATPase molecular motor is driven by proton gradient and sequential protonations)
>acid-base chemistry
>highly explosive diatom in presence of oxygen
>can exist as five phases of matter, including metallic
>studying hydrogen gave rise to molecular orbital theory and quantum theory
>has a cool looking, beta-emitting radioisotope: tritium
I also love pretty much all of the platinum group metals.
>>8510877
This tbqh smdh. Aluminum is fucking trash.
>>8510881
>highly explosive diatom
Fucking topkek
t. biologist
Anybody else like scandium?
>>8510894
sup biobrah. What's your favorite element?
Copper is cool
>>8508607
Pretty sure mithril is just aluminum
Carbon. All life is need this to exist
>>8511357
Carbon, and around 50 or more other elements.
You're made up of around 80 % water. Without iron, you wouldn't be able to breathe. And what would carbon be without hydrogen. What else would you saturate it with. Halogens?
>>8507717
Manganese
>shitlot of oxidation states
>shitload of applications
Potassium because funny banana xd
Carbon & Nitrogen because life
>>8507717
Iron.
It's the core of the Earth, it's the core of the Sun, it's in your blood, it's the most stable nucleus, its ferromagnetism protects us from the solar wind, its alloys are some of the hardest and strongest materials it's possible to produce on a large scale and filings of it ward off the fey. What's not to love?
Tungsten.
As an aluminum welder I fucking hate aluminum.
>>8512453
>it's the core of the Sun
Let's hope it isn't holy shit
I like all halogens but especially chlorine. Nitrogen is cool too
>>8508126
The best element is bismuth, and if you disagree you are autistic.
>>8512453
>sun has an iron core
>blood has free iron
is this a new meme?
Barium....because its bary reactive
Phosphorous, the often overlooked biochemical element
>>8510881
>Liking degeneracy
Step aside faggots, Manganese mastermetal coming through
>>8512465
Our sun isn't massive enough to fuse iron
Oxygen. Required for respiration, combustion, reactions, etc.
Gallium - just a tiny droplet anywhere and you can spread it out almost infinitely.
I like the Lanthanide group elements for their glorious applications in geochemistry
>>8512453
iron is a pretty cool element eh kills fey and doesn't decay of anything
>>8511370
You can breathe with copper instead of iron
