Suppose I have a bowl of grapes and oranges. There are two grapes to every orange. Which is more plentiful?

The answer is grapes because there are more of them even if the oranges collectively weight a lot more than the grapes.

You have been tricked by a double reverse trick question. It is trying to make you guess hydrogen and be wrong, but the use of the word plentiful backfires and makes the correct answer - hydrogen.

Problem is, Hydrogen isn't present as an ELEMENT in sea water, it's present as a Compound. Oxygen on the other hand, is present in small quantities as freebase O2

Hydrogen and Oxygen are both Elements. The combine to make many compunds. The question asked which ELEMENT. Didn't state it had to be in elemental form.

its oxygen it said most abundant...not plentiful, and not to mention O makes up 87% of sea water...okay now lets say you go by actual number of particles and not weight...its still oxygen because it asked in Sea Water, which includes the dissolved oxygen in the water
or crap it does say plentiful...I coulda sworn it was abundant...oops my bad, then thats why i did say hydrogen was correct...

Hydrogen it is

I believe the most plentiful element is chlorine if you exclude elements that exist as compounds.
