Ignoring trace elements, a typical elemental composition (by mass) of the human body is as follows:
10.5 % H
66.3 % O
19.9 % C
3.3 % N
Use these percentages, the molar mass values, Avogadro's number, and the atomic numbers to determine the total number of electrons (and protons) in a 73-kg human body (160 pounds).
If these electrons and protons were placed 100 m apart (the distance of approximately one football field), then what would be the force of electrical attraction between them.
An isolated LiCl molecule has its chloride ion
(mass = 35 atomic mass units) at x = 0 pm ,
and its lithium ion (mass = 7 u) at x= 202 pm.
What is the molecule's mass?
depends on the chlorine isotope
O 20 u
42 u
O 28 u
