    Parts-per-million cube of relative abundance by mass of elements in an average adult human body down to 1 ppm. About 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Only about 0.85% is composed of another five elements: potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium ...

  3. Human chimera - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_chimera

    A human chimera is a human with a subset of cells with a distinct genotype than other cells, that is, having genetic chimerism.In contrast, an individual where each cell contains genetic material from a human and an animal is called a human–animal hybrid, while an organism that contains a mixture of human and non-human cells would be a human-animal chimera.

    Dalton concluded that in these oxides, for every two atoms of iron, there are two or three atoms of oxygen respectively (Fe 2 O 2 and Fe 2 O 3). [ b ] [ 8 ] [ 9 ] As a final example: nitrous oxide is 63.3% nitrogen and 36.7% oxygen, nitric oxide is 44.05% nitrogen and 55.95% oxygen, and nitrogen dioxide is 29.5% nitrogen and 70.5% oxygen.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_element

    A synthetic element is one of 24 known chemical elements that do not occur naturally on Earth: they have been created by human manipulation of fundamental particles in a nuclear reactor, a particle accelerator, or the explosion of an atomic bomb; thus, they are called "synthetic", "artificial", or "man-made".

    This allows carbon-based (organic) molecules to form the immense variety of chemical arrangements described in organic chemistry. [131] Alternative hypothetical types of biochemistry have been proposed that eliminate one or more of these elements, swap out an element for one not on the list, or change required chiralities or other chemical ...

    [35]: 118 Moreover, the periodic table could predict how many atoms of other elements that an atom could bond with — e.g., germanium and carbon are in the same group on the table and their atoms both combine with two oxygen atoms each (GeO 2 and CO 2). Mendeleev found these patterns validated atomic theory because it showed that the elements ...

  8. Matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter

    Because atoms and molecules are said to be matter, it is natural to phrase the definition as: "ordinary matter is anything that is made of the same things that atoms and molecules are made of". (However, notice that one also can make from these building blocks matter that is not atoms or molecules.) Then, because electrons are leptons, and ...

    Any disorder in human body indicates imbalance of one or more of these elements. Yoga Tattva Mudra Vijnana relates these five elements to five fingers of human being. Different Mudra were developed to balance these [ 7 ] in human body which form the Hasta Mudra in yogic tradition and are used in Naturopathy .
