What is the subatomic reason of electro schock?

[Prince]

Hello, this is my first post here so i'm hoping i'm posting in the right thread.I wanted to know that what is the exact reason of electricity schock.

The reason of electricity schock and burning is the "charge" of an electron or the "Force of Impact" of an electron?

Thanks in advance for answering??

My thought (not an expert ) is the action of making a current flow in the body stresses the bodies cells into giving up electrons in a way that is abnormal for them. If that includes nerves controlling the heart then it won’t be good... With enough current we can cook by resistive heating... also not good.

charge" of an electron

a stable subatomic particle with a charge of negative electricity, found in all atoms and acting as the primary carrier of electricity in solids. scotty . uss enterprise

Aye Scottie, but will it make us go faster?

them pesky electrons are moles in disguise. all they want to do is get to earth and burrow underground. if they can't find a path elsewhere, they will travel through your body, but some have limited strength and can't complete the journey through a high resistance path, so that is why some of us end up with moles on the skin.

i have just invented a new car ,no engine in yet ,I'm hoping it will run on wind mill system .lol

well, you got enough hot breath to blow in the sails.

it would be something out of the great summer wine.lol.

At a sub-atomic level what matters to us are the parts that make up atoms:

• neutrons
• protons
• electrons

Because we are made of atoms. And they interact in chemistry by means of electron exchange (either covalent or electrovalent bonding).

Basically we are very big and complex chemical systems, and the nerves and muscles that permit complex actions do so by means of electrical impulses caused by, and in turn triggering, chemical changes.

Action potential - Wikipedia

When you introduce electricity in the raw form - i.e. an electric current - the flood of electrons messes with all of this chemical potential signalling and cellular action.

Most folk who die from electric shock so so due to heart fibrillation, where basically the heart's regular and automatic pumping action is disrupted. In effect they die of oxygen starvation as no blood is pumped to allow the CO2 / O2 exchange in the lungs to take place.

At higher levels you can get cell wall damage, and also heating damage, but usually it is the disruption to the complex nerve/muscle system that is the primary problem.
