Answer 2

Answer: The elements which are common for all organic molecules is hydrogen and carbon.

Explanation:

Another name for organic molecules are hydrocarbons. This means that the molecules which consist of hydrogen and carbon atoms is an organic compound.

For Example:

$H_2O\text{ and }CO_2$ are not organic compounds, because in water, carbon is not there and in carbon dioxide, hydrogen is not there. But, $CH_4$ is an organic compound because hydrogen and carbon both are present.

Hence, hydrogen and carbon elements are common to all organic molecules.
