Answer:

1. Hydrogen - obvious as it is, it makes up majority of the universe, and is the lightest element.

2. Oxygen - the gas in which we need to respire, is colorless, odorless and tasteless

3. Nitrogen - 98% of the atmosphere making it the most plentiful element.

4. Iron – a magnetic metal, which rusts in damp air and dissolves in acids [dilute]

5. Carbon - it can form various other substances like diamond, graphite and fullerenes.

6. Aluminium - lightweight, and you might expect it to corrode in air since its a metal, but it does not, since it reacts with oxygen to form an oxide layer preventing it from corroding.

7. Silver - a soft shiny metal, and do you know it has antibacterial properties?

8. Gold - a shiny, malleable, non reactive and the densest metal.

9. Neon - 4th most abundant element in the universe and usually used in the signs for advertising.

10. Copper - a coloured metal, and the best conductor of electricity/heat.
