Chapter 39, Problem 35A

To determine

Whether the body contain more neutron than proton and more proton than electron.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The human body contains the various elements. The human body maintains the neutral electrical charge.

The nucleus of heavy element in the body requires the more neutron than proton to make nucleus stable by the cohesive force between the neutron and proton.

The number of the proton in body should be equal to the number of electron to maintain the neutral charge of the body.

Conclusion:

Thus, the body contains more neutrons than protons in the heavier element in the body and contains equal number of protons and electrons to maintain the neutral nature of the body.
