What is the compound name for hydrogen and phosphorus?
Hydrogen Phosphide
What elements are most commonly found in organic compounds?
all organic molecules contain carbon atomsCarbon, hydrogen and oxygen
Do hydrogen nitrogen and oxygen normally occur as single atoms?
With the conditions of temperature and pressure found on the Earth hydrogen and oxygen in their free state are gas molecules consisting of two atoms. But nitrogen gas can also be found in this form.
Can a molecule be an element?
Yes, some of the nonmetals (hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and the halogens) form diatomic molecules (H2, N2, O2, etc.). Sulfur forms S8 molecules, phosphorus can form P4 molecules, and the ever versatile element carbon can form C60 molecules among others.
Is water a compound?
Water is a compound. It has molecules consisting of two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom. So it is made of 2 different elements - Hydrogen and oxygen -- to become H20. Hydrogen is made out of two atoms hence the subscript number 2.
Living organisms are made up of molecules consisting largely of which six elements?
carbon oxygen hydrogen nitrogen phosphorus and calcium
Molecules consisting of only carbon and hydrogen are called?
A hydrocarbon with a double bond
Organisms are composed of what types of chemical compound?
a variety of different kinds of molecules.Living organisms are made up of a variety of many different kinds of molecules. Some molecules, such as water and salt, are small. Other molecules, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and DNA are large.
What are the element present in living organisms?

What are the six elements in living organisms?
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, calcium, phosphorus
What are bio-molecules?
A bio-molecule is a chemical molecule that naturally occurs in living organisms. Bio-molecules consist primarily of carbon and hydrogen, along with nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and sulfur. Other elements sometimes are incorporated but are much less common.
What are the six elements in all living organisms?
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, calcium, phosphorus
What are two small molecules that are important to living organisms?
