what is the ancient symbols of the elements (chemistry) & what are the elements present in our body?

Answer 1

The ancient symbols of elements were earth, wind, water and fire.

The elements present in our body I would say are wind, lungs and thoose smelly farts, water (our body is 70% water), earth (food all food comes from earth one way or another) and fire, the bio-chemical process that produce our body temp.

Answer 2

Heres a neat way to remember the elements in the body:

CHOPKINS Ca Fe, Mg Na Cl

Read this out loud as a statement: See Hopkins Cafe, Mighty Good with Salt (NaCl)

So, Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorous, Potassium, Iodine, Nitrogen, Sulfur (in amino acids like Cysteine), Calcium, Iron (Fe), Magnesium, Sodium (Na), and Chlorine.

There are other elements that the body uses in trace amounts: Zinc, Vanadium, Chromium, Selenium, etc.

The Ancient Names: Fe = Ferrum (Iron) Au = Gold (Aurum) Ag = Silver (Argentum) Na = Sodium (Natrium) K = Potassium (Kallium) Cu = Copper (Cuprum) Pb = Lead (PLumbum) Sn = Tin (Stannum) Sb = Antimony (Stibium) Hg = Mercury (Hydragyrum) W = Tungsten (Wolfram)

Answer 3

I don't know the ancient symbol for the elements... "mortar and pestle?", but there are so many elements found in our body. Radically speaking, we are composed of elements! C, H, N, O plus inorganic elements like vitamins, etc. How many elements are there again in the Periodic Table? A rough estimate of about half of the elements in the Periodic Table is found in our body ;)

Answer 4

Ancient alchemy used planetary symbols for metals and minerals (sun for gold, silver for moon, mercury for quicksilver...).

Our body is made up of more than half the periodic system, in varying degrees of frequency and importance, though. The water which makes up most of our volume has the capacity to dissolve all manner of elements, and will retain traces of unused mineral contents. Such impurities are e.g. inserted into the outer, hard layer of our teeth during childhood and adolescence and are a scientific method to determine a person's birth region.

Answer 5

The major ones are carbon, oxygen and hydrogen, which compose muscles, proteins, etc and also water which is what our mass largely is. we also need traces of other elements, like iron and calcium, and traces of other metals like magnesium and potassium.

Answer 6

H,C,N,O,Na,Mg,P,S,Cl,K,Ca,Mn,Fe,Co,Ni,Cu,Zn,..................AND MANY MORE
