In the box provided explain why living organisms contain more Ge in the box provided explain why living organisms contain more hydrogen autumns then any other items yet 65% of typical organisms mass is Oxygen

Respuesta :

The reason is that Oxygen atoms contain 16 times more mass than Hydrogen atoms.

Hydrogen Has only one proton and no neutrons and so has an atomic number of 1 and a mass of 1

Oxygen Has 8 protons and also 8 neutrons and so has an atomic number of 8 and a mass of 16.

It takes 16 Hydrogen atoms to equal the mass of 1 oxygen atom.
