in consists of hydrogen and carbon. do you want to know oxidation states? well, then it is +1 on all hydrogen atoms, -3 on the edge carbons and -2 on the ceter carbons. these are NOT ions, though.

if you had to choose which one was more prevalent which one would it be? because i can only choose one.

here, too, there are two possibilities. imagine water. if you go by the number of atoms, hydrogen would be prevalent. if you go by weight %, oxygen would be. same goes for hydrocarbon atoms. by number, hydrogen is prevalent. by mass, carbon is.
