Do you think the energy of 1 atom splitting can kill you?

I dont mean a chain reaction, i mean the energy of one atom exploding inside your body, would it kill you?





If not, what kind of force would it take?Do you think the energy of 1 atom splitting can kill you?
No, it can't kill you. It would take a lot of atoms splitting to cause any real danger.





One treatment for cancer is to inject a radioactive substance into the cancer. As the radioactive substance decays (atoms are splitting) it does damage to the cancer cells, hopefully killing them and not hurting you too much. This is millions of atoms splitting as part of the treatment, so 1 atom would be basically nothing.Do you think the energy of 1 atom splitting can kill you?
No, it won't kill you. Dissociation (rip electron from atom) is an atomic/chemical processes. Chain reaction (decay of atomic nuclear) is a nuclear process and can not start in human body. Spontaneous fission is possible only for trans-uranium elements. Human body is mostly (80%) water (hydrogen and oxygen) and carbon)
nope.Depending on what atom it is.I think most of it doesn't really produce anything.
No, but it lead to the mutation of a cell which could cause problems later.
Dude are you Kazakh?
