Polonium
The simplest element from an atomic structure point of view is hydrogen with just one proton and one electron. Its chemistry is by no mean simple!
it is a simple structure
Hydrogen produces the largest number of spectral lines due to its simple atomic structure.
Astronomers believe that hydrogen is the primordial element in the universe because it is the most abundant element and simple in structure. Hydrogen was the first element formed after the Big Bang and is a key component in the formation of stars and galaxies. Observations of the cosmic microwave background radiation also support the idea that hydrogen is the oldest element in the universe.
The element that has the atomic mass of 12 is carbon. For elements the correct expression is atomic weight (not mass). The atomic weight of carbon (after IUPAC 2009) is [12,0096; 12,0116] or as a more simple, conventional value 12,011.

copper is an element, so in terms of molecular structure, it extremely simple(Cu or Cu2) In terms of atomic structure and electron/proton/neutron configuration it is obviously more complex.It contains 29 protons and electrons, an 35 neutrons. Finally, in terms of crystal structure, its pretty simple because it is face-centered cubic
Polonium exists in two metallic allotropes (forms). The alpha form has a simple cubic crystal structure, and the beta form is rhombohedral.
Hydrogen is the lightest element, with an atomic number of 1. Its low atomic mass and simple structure make it the lightest element in the periodic table.
it is a simple structure
Hydrogen produces the largest number of spectral lines due to its simple atomic structure.
Neither it is a metal, the bonding is metallic- ions in a sea of electrons- is a very simple description.
Propane is a simple structure, consisting of three carbon atoms bonded to eight hydrogen atoms in a linear configuration. It is a small, straightforward molecule with a simple structure.
In simple cases, 2 elements. A metallic element transfers electrons to a non-metallic element leading to the formation of a positive and a negative ion, which are held together by electrostatic attration e.g. sodium chloride, NaCl. However, in the case of compounds of polyatomic ions, e.g. sulphate SO42-, nitrate NO3- etc. the number of elements involved would be greater.
