i think sodium is more important than osmium , at the same level than carbon , sodium is everywhere even on us and the sea

[ithinkiamhere12]

@zumbwanda I agree. Stating Osmium was the most important element was for pure satirical purposes.

[choctaw111]

All this great info and you didn't mention that Osmium is the heaviest of all elements.

[ithinkiamhere12]

oops...i mentioned it was the densest at least lol

[wadeNYC1]

isnt osmium the densiest?

[OverRule1]

@zumbwanda Water is everywhere. More than sodium that is and about 70% of your body is made of it.

[mingmingnak]

It is useful for making diols.

@choctaw111LOL, the heaviest? I bet that a ton of hydrogen weighs more than a gram of osmium :-D

@DeathIzurfriend IRON IS THE MOST USEFUL ELEMENT
