If you were an atom, which atom would you be? 1

What zodiac sign are you? What is your totem animal? Dull, dull dull people! Here's one you probably haven't heard before.
Whats your periodic element? Which atom are you?
Here's to brush you up on them again:
Which is your atom?
Mine is Sulfur. I am the yellow element that bleeds red and burns blue. I catalyze, I oxidize, I reduce, I have many valences and I make things smelly. I put the vigor in gunpowder and the blisters in mustard gas. I'm essential to life and only the biggest stars can burn me.

How about you? Which element are you particularly attracted to?

I've been meaning to get poster of the periodic table for my room, but anyway I seem to be attracted to hydrogen atm. I just think it's a interesting element and I'd like to learn more about it..

All forms of Helium.
It is relatively rare on Earth, yet it is the second most abundant thing in the observable universe, it is believed to predate the Big Bang, it is the first noble gas on the periodic table. It has the lowest boiling point amongst all of the elements. It is a product of nuclear fusion and radioactive decay. Helium is so light that Earth’s gravity is not strong enough to hold on to it. When helium atoms are released into the atmosphere, they rise until they escape into space. At temperatures close to absolute zero helium condenses to a liquid with amazing properties – the properties of a superfluid, flowing with zero friction up and over the walls of containers. At normal atmospheric pressure helium does not solidify. At 25 atmospheres of pressure helium is a solid at 0.95 K. As the pressure rises, the temperature at which solid helium exists also rises. Helium can be made solid at room temperature if the pressure rises to about 114 thousand atmospheres: that is a pressure of 1.67 million psi, or 834 tons per square inch. This is over 100 times greater than the pressure at the oceans’ deepest point, the Challenger Deep, which is almost seven miles deep (10 916 meters). It is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and non-toxic. It is a "both sides of the coin" element. Nothing could be much more present and yet not be very apparent than helium.

So much it is my nature as is Helium's, I just had to be the first to claim helium. I, Helium.

I kinda like tungsten, very hard and almost exactly as dense as gold. Pretty much anything else that's extremely dense is too valuable or radioactive to be practical to obtain in quantity.
Beryllium's cool too, rare and has pretty unique properties for aerospace engineering (very lightweight and dissipates heat very well, plus there is some elasticity measurement where it has a very high value). IIRC its value is in the same ballpark as silver. A bunch of gemstones are beryllium oxides.

Incorrect. Earth's atmosphere is 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.9% argon, and 0.03% carbon dioxide with very small percentages of other elements. Our atmosphere also contains water vapor.

I'd be a metal, perhaps gold. Then again I could be fluoride. Questionably even a God element that shape-shifts or decays into whatever.

He bonds with fluorine, even though they make an explosive pairing.
