Well for a start #C#, and #H#. #N#, and #O# are also typical......

Explanation:

Heteroatoms such as phosphorus, halogens, and sulfur can also appear. Because of carbon's unique ability to catenate, to form long #C-C# chains, with different substitutions along the chain, the possibilities for reactivity and functionality are endless.
