Most of the human body is made up of water, H2O, with cells consisting of 65-90% water by weight. Therefore, it isn't surprising that most of a human body's mass is oxygen. Carbon, the basic unit for organic molecules, comes in second. 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of just six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. # Oxygen (65%) # Carbon (18%) # Hydrogen (10%) # Nitrogen (3%) # Calcium (1.5%) # Phosphorus (1.0%) # Potassium (0.35%) # Sulfur (0.25%) # Sodium (0.15%) # Magnesium (0.05%) # Copper, Zinc, Selenium, Molybdenum, Fluorine, Chlorine, Iodine, Manganese, Cobalt, Iron (0.70%) # Lithium, Strontium, Aluminum, Silicon, Lead, Vanadium, Arsenic, Bromine (trace amounts)
