      Oh wow! They can all be pretty dangerous depending on how you encounter them! But I’d say Uranium due to all that radioactivity!

      There are many dangerous elements in the periodic table but if I had to pick one, I would probably pick Mercury. It looks very harmless and you may even have a thermometer on the wall with it in but if it gets in your body, it can make you very ill.
