First you were a geologist now you are a chemist who doesn't understand the importance of oxygen, nitrogen and carbon being the only elements which regularly form double and triple bonds with one another?Look at the periodic table. See C? Yeah, there are several elements lighter than it.
MOST OF THEM MAKE BONDS THAT "MIMIC" A NOBLE GAS...THAT'S WHAT AN OCTET IS.
That literally MEANS NOTHING! LOL.
What do you mean "saturating all their tendencies"????
I work as a chemist. Please stop. You're killing me. LOL.
So as a world renowned chemist what other elements besides oxygen, carbon and nitrogen can life be based upon.
