Oxygen is a very good atom, and one I can't really complain too much about since we all need it to live. It is a key element in hydrocarbons, the base construct of all life as we know it. One bad thing about oxygen is that it can explode and cause fire, but on the other hand my car wouldn't run too well without explosions or fire. Ahhh, it's good I guess.RATING: 96%

Oxygen? Really Glenn? Really?
I have only vague memories from high school chemistry, but I though hydrocarbons are composed mainly of hydrogen and carbon. Little, if any, oxygen.
Oh, yeah, I guess that's why I didn't go far in science. But all life needs oxygen's high energy transfer for oxidative phosphorylation.
