It is the stuff of stars, of cold empty space and of the Earth. Hydrogen is found everywhere and in most compounds.ydrogen in water. Water is the most common chemical compound on the surface of the Earth, covering over two-thirds of the Earth's surface. People are also about two-thirds water.

Summary. Next to oxygen, silicon is the most abundant element on Earth. With four electrons in its outer shell, it readily combines with oxygen to form silicon dioxide. This compound, also known as silica, is the most common substance found in the Earth's crust and is the main ingredient in sand.Silicon is a metalloid, which means it and other metalloid elements have properties that are in between metals and non-metals, depending on what they combine with.ilicon can have properties like a metal or a non-metal depending on what other elements it combines with. Glass is a very common silicon compound that has non-metal qualities, while the silicon used in electronics can be made to act very much like a metal.
