Carbon and oxygen atoms are plentiful. However, because such a huge percentage of your body is water and because carbon atoms are always associated with hydrogen atoms in living species, by a long way, HYDROGEN atoms are the most plentiful in a living body.

Is a human body has 15 lbs of hydrogen and 97 lbs of oxygen does that mean there are more oxygen then hydrogen?
oxygen
Which two atoms are most common in the human body?
By atoms: hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon By mass: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen
Name the most-common element in your body.?
Hydrogen, then oxygen, then carbon. Your body is 70 percent water, which is two thirds hydrogen and one third oxygen.
What four elements make up 96 percent of the human body?
Oxygen is the most abundant element in the human body, followed by Carbon, Hydrogen and Nitrogen. Calcium is abundant, as well.
How is hydrogen related to oxygen?
Hydrogen and oxygen are similar because we both need them to survive hehehe
What are the 3 most common elements found in living things important to the human body?
The three most common atoms in the body would be carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. By atoms: hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon By mass: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen
What is the human body mostly made of a carbon oxygen nitrogen and hydrogen b oxygen calcium carbon and hydrogen c hydrogen iron nitrogen and oxygen?
The human body is made up of only mostly carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. The top four elements are oxygen, carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen, so that would be a. on your list.
Can you live with hydrogen and oxygen instead of H2O?
No, you would need energy to combine hydrogen and oxygen into H2O
Does your body need more than six elements?
I believe oxygen carbon hydrogen nitrogen and sulfur :) think bxtch
What 4 elements account for more than 95 percent of the human body?
carbonnitrogenoxygenhydrogen
