Hydrogen is lighter than Oxygen.

This is a very simple question. Hydrogen is the first element on the Periodic Table of elements and it weighs 0.08988 grams per litre. Oxygen is the 8th element on the periodic table. It weighs 1.429 grams per litre.

All of the elements (and most chemicals you will ever want to know about) have an article on Wikipedia. These articles almost always include the "weight per amount" known as Density.

Oxygen is more heavier then Hydrogen, as for gases the density depends only upon the molar mass.

So H2 has a molar mass of 2 g/mole and that of oxygen O2 is 32.

Thus Hydrogen gas is 16 times lighter than Oxygen gas.

Why is water heavier than the two gasses that compose it?

fluids are heavier than gases. When hydrogen its by itself is lighter than water as so the oxygen is also lighter. Once combined they form a fluid thus the combination of two gases produced a fluid which will turn heavier.

What element is the second most abundant in the body?

Most of our body is made up of water (H20); therefore hydrogen is the most abundant (i.e. numerous) element and oxygen is the second most abundant. However, since oxygen is much heavier than hydrogen, it comprises a larger percentage of body weight (about 65%) than does hydrogen (about 10%).
