Answer 59

A hug without me is toxic to touch. (chem)
Hug without "u" is Hg, which is mercury (toxic to touch)
so U

One over me diverges as such. (math)
1/n is a divergent function
so N

You'll talk about me in current events. (physics)
I is the symbol for current

And then you'll use me if you have common cents. (not really science related)
Just the letter C, nothing special about this one

I'm inside your blood, I'll make it run red. (biology/chem)
Oxygen - O

If working with combos, then choose me instead. (math)
The combination formula is nCr which is sometimes read as "n choose r"

I'm most of the air that people can breathe. (chem/bio)
Nitrogen (N)
