Human atomic composition
The following table shows approximately how much (in grams and atoms) of each element is to be found in a 50 kg human. We calculate the number of atoms using Avagadro's number, the number of atoms in a gram atomic weight of an element: N = 6.025 x 10 E 23. The notation 10 E n means 'ten to the power of n'.
