  2. Composition of the human body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_of_the_human_body

    Water is ~11% hydrogen by mass but ~67% hydrogen by atomic percent, and these numbers along with the complementary % numbers for oxygen in water, are the largest contributors to overall mass and atomic composition figures. Because of water content, the human body contains more oxygen by mass than any other element, but more hydrogen by atom ...

  3. Dihydrogen monoxide parody - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihydrogen_monoxide_parody

    Dihydrogen monoxide is a name for the water molecule, which comprises two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom (H 2 O).. The dihydrogen monoxide parody is a parody that involves referring to water by its unfamiliar chemical systematic name "dihydrogen monoxide" (DHMO, or the chemical formula H 2 O) and describing some properties of water in a particularly concerning manner — such as the ...

    The oxide is toxic to humans. [11] oxygen: 8: 5: Ubiquitous, essential for all forms of life; essentially all biological molecules (not to mention water) contain substantial amounts of oxygen. [11] In high concentrations, oxygen toxicity can occur. palladium: 46: 2a: Has no known biological role. [11]

    Each nucleotide is made of an acyclic nitrogenous base, a pentose and one to three phosphate groups. They contain carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen and phosphorus. They contain carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen and phosphorus.

  6. Oxygen - Wikipedia

    2 O) is an oxide of hydrogen and the most familiar oxygen compound. Hydrogen atoms are covalently bonded to oxygen in a water molecule but also have an additional attraction (about 23.3 kJ/mol per hydrogen atom) to an adjacent oxygen atom in a separate molecule. [127]

    Hydrogen atoms are covalently bonded to oxygen in a water molecule but also have an additional attraction (about 23.3 kJ·mol −1 per hydrogen atom) to an adjacent oxygen atom in a separate molecule. [2] These hydrogen bonds between water molecules hold them approximately 15% closer than what would be expected in a simple liquid with just Van ...

    Graphic representation of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur. CHNOPS and CHON are mnemonic acronyms for the most common elements in living organisms. "CHON" stands for carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, which together make up more than 95 percent of the mass of biological systems. [1] "CHNOPS" adds phosphorus and ...

  9. Chemical element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_element

    For example, molecules of water (H 2 O) contain atoms of hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O), so water can be said as a compound consisting of the elements hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) even though it does not contain the chemical substances (di)hydrogen (H 2) and (di)oxygen (O 2), as H 2 O molecules are different from H 2 and O 2 molecules. For the ...
