How does body cells readily differentiate between sodium chloride and potassium chloride?
Sodium chloride has got electron configuration of 2,8,1. Potassium chloride has got electron configuration of 2,8,8,1. They behave identically in almost all the chemical reactions. But then you have potassium chloride molecule inside the cell. You need to have sodium chloride molecules out side the body cell to make them survive. If you get intravenous injection of sodium chloride, nothing will happen to you. If you give intravenous injection of potassium chloride, you will die instantly. How body cells recognize the difference between sodium chloride and potassium chloride in no time is the big question mark.
