  • Elements in the Human Body: Chemical Symbols & Percentages
    Here are the chemical symbols for the naturally occurring elements found in the human body, along with their approximate percentages by weight:

    * Oxygen (O) - 65%

    * Carbon (C) - 18.5%

    * Hydrogen (H) - 9.5%

    * Nitrogen (N) - 3.2%

    * Calcium (Ca) - 1.5%

    * Phosphorus (P) - 1%

    * Potassium (K) - 0.35%

    * Sulfur (S) - 0.25%

    * Sodium (Na) - 0.15%

    * Chlorine (Cl) - 0.15%

    * Magnesium (Mg) - 0.05%

    * Iron (Fe) - 0.006%

    * Other Elements (Trace Amounts) - Less than 0.01% (including elements like zinc, copper, iodine, etc.)

    It's worth noting that these percentages can vary slightly depending on individual factors like age, diet, and health status.
