Verified by Experts

Most of the human body is made up of water `(H_(2)O)`. It isn.t surprising that majority of a human body.s mass is oxygen. Carbon, the basic unit of organic molecules is the second . `99%` of the mass of the human body is made up of just six elements. Oxygen `(65%)`, carbon `(18%)`, hydrogen `(10%)`, Nitrogen `(3%)`, calcium `(1.5%)`, phosphorus `(1.0%)`. Can we decide wether our body is metal or non metal ?
