I saw your post before I scored 13 of 13. However I probably would have said Hydrogen and missed that one.
Is hydrogen the most abundant element in the universe?

I believe Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, but much of it is bound up or combined. I think the most abundant free-ranging element is Stupidity. At least on earth.

If all the nitrogen in the atmosphere were hydrogen, lighting a match would likely turn the earth into a mini-sun, until all of the oxygen was consumed. If you managed to avoid lighting any flames, your speaking voice would be like it is after sucking from a helium balloon, only more so.
I am amused by those Shell ads that brag about Nitrogen enhanced gasoline; it sounds like they are adding air to their fuel.
I believe you are right though. There is more hydrogen "out there".

Is hydrogen the most abundant element in the universe? Very much so; it comprises approximately 75% of the baryonic mass of the universe.
