What are the elements of seawater?

All the elements are present in sea water in various quantities, but the most common ones (the ones responsible for its saltiness) are sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and aluminum from the metals; chlorine, fluorine, phosphorus, and sulfur for the non-metals. Not to mention hydrogen and oxygen, since that's what water is made of.


The most important dissolved elements in ocean water are?

Sodium (as the cation Na +) and chlorine (as the anion chloride, Cl-).


What elements are found in the ocean?

Oxygen,hydrogen, chilorine, sodium, nytrogen.


What are the five most abundant elements in earth's ocean?

Hydrogen and oxygen as ocean water is still water with some dissolved solutes. The most common elements in seas salt are sodium and chlorine. Ocean water is salty. The salt of the Ocean, depends on the Climate, Temperature, and the Depth of the Ocean. Salinity is the measure of how much salt there is in a volume of a material, so let's say that we have a kilogram container were going to fill it in with salt water let's say we put one kilogram in it.What we do is we let the salt sun shine on it then the water will go away, 1 kg=1,000 milometers of water you would be left with = 35 grams of salt. Salt= Nacl = Sodium chloride Hotter water= saltier water Water movement effect the salt. Water movement a bay gulf of Mexico so the salt sits there. If the water sit still it's going to be salty Surface temperature changes because more direct sunlight. The salinity as you go down the salinity decreases. You get the saltiest amount at the surface.

What are the most abundant elements in the ocean?

Hydrogen and oxygen are technically the most abundant elements, as they are the constituents of water (H2O). Excepting those two elements, chlorine, as chloride ions, is the most abundant element, followed by sodium ions.


What elements are inocean?

To some concentration, probably all of them, but the ocean is primarily water which is hydrogen and oxygen. There is a lot of salt in the ocean which is mostly sodium and chlorine. So I would say those are probably the four most abundant elements in the ocean.
