      Helium as its usefully for balloon decorations and also double up as voice changer when you are taking the balloons down – whats not to like?

      Sodium, if you put this metal in a bucket of water it skates across the surface and gives out bright flames, really cool reaction!!

      GOLD! What is not to like about good old Au, it’s valuable and also vital for so much of science, from computers to anslysing fossil plankton!
