Looking at this list of the elements from the periodic table, well it has been a long time since I have viewed it, I am surprised to see Krypton, wondering if it was in any way inspired by Superman comics.
Really, an element called Californium and Einsteinium? LOL
Anywho, I cannot choose one single element I like, since I like two of them.
I like both Arsenic and Radon, mainly due to how destructive they are.

Krypton (the planet) was named for the gaseous element.

Plutonium was conversely named for the planet.
Neptunium as well.

My wife's made of "Australium".

No.
And the Pluto/planet thing is going to be a 'thing' for a long time to come.

So now the big majestic gas giants are under the same classification as reasonably large boulders?

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
