What is the best periodic element to do a report on?

Answer 1

It depends what your target audience is, what your interest is and very very importantly what you can get the best information on. Perhaps do a report on a common element or well-known element or widely used element or common-on-earth or in biochemical-structures element. Examples would be hydrogen, lithium, calcium, magnesium, gold, silver, iron, nickel, copper, iron, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulphur, silicon... If you want to try and explore less-often-in-conversation-mentioned element, try ruthenium, rubidium, barium, cadmium, bismuth, thallium or caesium. If it's a sort of basic-overview report I wouldn't do it on recently artificially synthesised elements like einsteinium, americium, seaborgium or ununoctium.
