Approximately 2/3 Of The Mass Of The Human Body Is Oxygen

  • This makes it the most abundant element, by mass, in the body. Much of that oxygen is part of water, H2O. 
  • Although there are more hydrogen atoms in the body than oxygen atoms, they account for significantly less mass. 
  • Oxygen is also the most abundant element in the Earth's crust (about 47% by mass) and the third most common element in the Universe. As stars burn hydrogen and helium, oxygen becomes more abundant.
