      Hi Mike
      I think its Lead – because i like the original latin name plumbum (where its symbol Pb comes from)

      Fire! No, that’s not the sort of element you mean 😉 probably oxygen. Keeps us alive . Jo

      Lithium, because it explodes and fizzes in flames when added to water

      Calcium (i did my PhD on the role of the calcium ion in eggs — is way more interesting than it sounds!)
