The most versatile atom is carbon. Because it forms four chemical bonds, the greatest number that any element can form, and because it does so with a lower bond strength than silicon, carbon forms the greatest variety of chemical compounds and does the greatest variety of things. It is generally believed that life is impossible without carbon (which is why, on Star Trek, human beings are often referred to as "carbon based life forms").
