What would happen if you replaced all the electrons in the human body with positrons?
Simply, we would not exist if it were not for the bonding relationship between our neutrons, electrons, and protons. If we were to take out all the electrons in
How do humans acquire voltage in their bodies?
Every organism, including humans, is made up of atoms which are made of protons, neutrons, and electrons. When an atom becomes positively or negatively charged, the flow of electrons between the two is actually electricity.
What is inside as nucleus?
This depends on the type of nucleus you are talking about. The cell nucleus is made of DNA, which enable the nucleus to regulate chemical reactions in the body. Atomic nuclei are composed of protons and neutrons bound to each other by their own force, and quarks that surround it.
Why is the atomic mass of an element not given as a whole number when the protons and neutrons are whole numbers?
It's the electrons that throw it off.
What is the atomic structure of polonium 210?
I am pretty sure it Alpha radiation because you cannot be effected by it if it is outside the body, all other types of radiation can penetrate the skin

What are the smallest units that make up your body?
Your body is made of cells, which are made of various proteins, membranes, and organelles, which are made of molecules, which are made of atoms, which are made of electrons, protons, and neutrons, which are made of quarks.
Why must a positively charged body have a deficiency of protons?
It doesn't. A positively charged body is deficient in electrons. In an uncharged object there are equal numbers of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. Removing electrons will leave more protons than electrons, so the object will be positively charged. Such an object is said to have a deficiency or electrons rather than a surplus of electrons because it is generally easier to remove electrons than it is to add protons. Electrons occupy the outer shells of an atom and have a much lower mass than protons. The protons, by contrast, are bound together in the dense nucleus.
What do you mean by charged and uncharged body?
Atoms normally contain equal numbers of protons and electrons. The amount of positive charge on a single proton is identical to the amount of negative charge on a single electron. So atoms and, therefore, the body from which they are formed, are normally neutral because the amount of positive charge is exactly countered by the amount of negative charge. A body acquires a charge if there is an imbalance between the number of protons and electrons within its atoms. If the electrons outnumber the protons, then the body acquires a negative charge; if the protons outnumber the electrons, then the body acquires a positive charge. The amount of charge is determined by the amount of imbalance between protons and electrons. WebRep currentVote noRating noWeight
Where does the electricity in your body come from what is it doing in there how can you measure it can it become unbalanced and if so how can you alter or stabilize it?
As we learned in intro physics, everything is made up of atoms, and atoms are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have a neutral charge, and electrons have a negative charge. When these charges are out of balance, an atom becomes either positively or negatively charged. The switch between one type of charge and the other allows electrons to flow from one atom to another. This flow of electrons, or a negative charge, is what we call electricity. Since our bodies are huge masses of atoms, we can generate electricity.
How can atoms be neutral if they contain contain charged particles?
The particles with charge within atoms are protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge). The charge on a single electron is equal in magnitude to the charge on a single proton. Thus if there are equal numbers of protons and neutrons in an atom, the charge of that atom will be zero/neutral. For example, a carbon atom always has 6 protons (definitive of carbon). If it also has 6 electrons, it will be neutral! Oxygen atoms have 8 protons. If they also have 8 electrons, they will be neutral. The positive and negative charges cancel each other out. For example, with oxygen..... +8 for the protons and -8 for the electrons (remember each single proton's charge is equal in magnitude to that of a single electron's).......add them together and.......+8 + (-8) and you get 0. Neutral! (Atoms are not neutrally charged if they have different numbers of protons and electrons. If the number of protons and electrons differ in an atom, the atom is referred to as an ion.)
Is there more protons in and ion than electrons?
Short Answer: The human body (and most other objects) is (are) normally neutral and that means the number of protons is very nearly equal to the number of protons. There will be a few more electron or a few less at any given time based on interactions of the body (or object) with its enviroment, but unless there is a specific process that adds or subtracts a substantial number of electron, the body (the object) will be almost neutral. While it is true that the body is a complex system of electrolytes with positive and negative ions, they balance and the body is still nearly neutral. Another Answer: In all neutral atoms, the number of protons and electrons are equal. When atoms form compounds, they transfer electrons to and from one another, but the total amount of electrons remains the same. If you _did_ have many more protons or electrons, your body would become electrically charged (negatively for an excess of electrons, and positively for an excess of protons). This is indeed what happens when you run your feet through a rug and get a static charge, making your hair stand up and causing you to spark on a doorknob. But normally, the amount of protons and electrons are the same.

How do you remember protons electrons?
There's a trick to this. It's actually a really easy thing to remember so it wont take long for it to stick in your head. Protons - Starts with P. Positive. Protons are the pro's they spread positive energy Neutrons - similar name to its charge, Neutral. think of it like people who aren't positive or negatives. The Neutrals. Electrons - Negative energy, Elect < Electricity. Electricity if you touch it is a bad thing, it reacts to your body negatively. there ya go! :) be a proton.

Does your body contain more neutrons than protons?
Short Answer:There are more protons than neutrons in the human body.This is primarily because we are mostly water and H2O is mostly hydrogen. Hydrogen is a single proton and is 25% of all the atoms in the body.Of the six elements that make up 99% of the mass of the human body (oxygen 65%, carbon 18%, hydrogen 10%, nitrogen 3%, calcium 1.4%, phosphorous 1.1%), all but hydrogen and phosphorous have an equal number protons and neutrons in the dominant isotope and hydrogen, be 25% of all atoms, overwhelms the balance giving more protons than neutrons.Long Answer:The human body (and other living things) contains a much greater number of protons than neutrons. Consider the data from the "related links" below which describe the elemental composition of the human body. This data allows one to calculate the number of neutrons and protons for each element and determine that there are about 4.15*10^27 protons more than the number of neutrons.Perform the following calculations for each of the elements on the list: determine the difference between number of neutrons and protons in the atomic nucleus and call it N-P ('N' minus 'P') for each element; divide the mass in grams of the element in the human body by the atomic mass of the element to get the moles of the element in the human body; multiply the moles by Avagadro's constant (~6.022*10^23) to get the number of atoms; multiply the number of atoms with N-P to get the net neutrons for the element.The list at the cited webpage is conveniently in order of most abundant to least abundant. If we look at only the first fifteen elements at the ones that have N-P not equal to zero we find that the net neutrons is on the order of -(10^27). This is due to the fact that Hydrogen has 1 proton and 0 neutrons (N-P = -1), and with a mass contribution of 7 kilograms to the human body, adds nearly 7000 moles of protons. Note, I'm ignoring the rest of the elements on the list after Cadmiun (the fifteenth with N-P != 0) since the mass contribution after Cadmium is less than 0.050 grams, none of the remaining elements should be able to contribute enough neutrons to increase the net neutrons into positive range. (The trend is much more clear if you perform the calculations and list the elements.)Additionally, although Carbon makes up ~16 kilograms of the body, the amount of isotopic carbon is only about 1% of that value at most, so the contribution from isotopic carbon would be only about 160 grams, which if it were all C14, would only add 1.38*10^25 neutrons.
When is a body charged negatively?
That basically means that the body has more negative than positive charges - for example, more electrons than protons.
