What are the 5 most useful elements?

Note that most living matter consists primarily of the so-called bulk elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur—the building blocks of the compounds that constitute our organs and muscles. These five elements also constitute the bulk of our diet; tens of grams per day are required for humans.

How can you use the periodic table in your daily activities?

The table can be used to predict the properties of elements, even those that have not yet been discovered. Columns (groups) and rows (periods) indicate elements that share similar characteristics. The table makes trends in element properties apparent and easy to understand.

What are the fun elements?

“There’s antimony, arsenic, aluminum, selenium, / And hydrogen and oxygen and nitrogen and rhenium, / And nickel, neodymium, neptunium, germanium, / And iron, americium, ruthenium, uranium …” When Lehrer wrote the song in 1959, only 102 elements (up to nobelium) were known.

    Why are elements important in everyday life?

    Elements are the fundamental building blocks of matter. Matter is what makes up everything in the universe from cars to planes to people. Matter is constructed from elements, sometimes purely from one type of element or sometimes many.

    What is the coolest looking element?

    Plutonium. Pretty much all of the radioactive elements are cool. Plutonium is particularly awesome because it truly does glow in the dark. Plutonium’s glow isn’t due to its radioactivity, though.

    What is an interesting element of the periodic table?

    Curium (Atomic number: 96) Curium, named after the double Nobel laureate Marie Curie and her husband Pierre, was discovered in 1944 by a scientist called Glenn Seabourg (along with his colleagues). Curium is made by bombarding plutonium with helium ions and makes this list because its compounds glow in the dark.
