How many elements are present in the human body?
Think it through first, then pick an option.
- a 118
- b 98
- c 63
- d 26
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: d 26
The human body contains 26 different elements in all.
Why the other options are wrong
- a 118: 118 is the number of all elements discovered so far; the human body holds 26 kinds among them.
- b 98: 98 is the number of elements found in nature (the board count), not the number in the body; the body has 26 kinds.
- c 63: 63 is the number of elements known in Mendeleev's time, not the number in the body; the body has 26 kinds.
