This work introduces the first in-depth study of h-free and h-full elements in abelian monoids, providing a unified approach for understanding their role in various mathematical structures. Let m be an element of an abelian monoid, with { \omega}(m) denoting the number of distinct prime elements generating m. We study the moments of { \omega}(m) over subsets of h-free and h-full elements, establishing the normal order of { \omega}(m) within these subsets. Our findings are then applied to number fields, global function fields, and geometrically irreducible projective varieties, demonstrating the broad relevance of this approach.
