After drawing a Lewis structure one should?
Check for formal charges to ensure the structure is the most stable arrangement of atoms, then determine the molecular shape and polarity of the compound based on the Lewis structure. Finally, verify that the octet rule is obeyed for all atoms in the molecule.
What besides oxygen and hydrogen which element is most abundant within the human body?
nitrogen (N)
What elements besides uranium plutonium and hydrogen can be used to make atomic or thermonuclear bombs?
Ex.: neptunium, deuterium (isotope of H)
What are examples of covalent bonds besides water?
Single, double, and triple carbon-carbon bonds; carbon-hydrogen bonds; carbon-halogen bonds; hydrogen-hydrogen bonds; nitrogen-nitrogen bonds; single and double carbon-oxygen bonds; silicon-oxygen bonds in silicone polymers.
What are air molecules and water molecules?
Air molecules is a little vague, the air that we breath is a mixture of mainly nitrogen (72% or so) oxygen and carbon dioxide. A water molecule is H20, two hydrogen polar covalently bonded to one Oxygen. Besides for the two bonds to H the oxygen also has 2 lone pairs of electrons. To spread the charge the molecule has a bent shape. Due to the difference in electronegativity between H and O and the shape of the molecule water is polar. This allows water to hydrogen bond which connect s the H from one molecule to the O of another molecule, holding water together as a liquid. When you boil water these intermolecular forces are overcome and each individual molecule separates from each other, creating water vapor ( which is water in the gas phase). However, each individual water molecule remains the same.

Which elements make up the most common compound in the human body?
Hydrogen and oxygen Water is the most common molecule, between 55 and 65% of our mass. Hydrogen accounts for 63% of our atoms, but oxygen accounts for 65% of our mass. (Both hydrogen and oxygen are part of many other molecules besides water.)

What are All elements found in carbon based molecules?
atoms Edit: Atoms and elements are two different things, an elements basic form is an atom. The most common elements found in carbon based molecules besides carbon are Oxygen, Hydrogen, and Nitrogen. However, there are others depending on the molecule.
