No, because humans are much more complex than peas.
Their lungs would try to expand to about 4 timed the normal volume which would force air into the various body tissues. this can cause a lung expansion injury and it could case air embolism. Air embolism is when air bubbles get trapped in blood vessels. This can lead to a blockage which will could be fatal.

F. Belongs to Period 3
Explanation:
Silicon is the 14th element on the periodic table. Its unit is SI. Its properties straddles between those of metals and non-metals and it is described as a non-metal.
It's atomic weight or mass number is 28u. It has an atomic number of 14 i.e in its neutral state, the number of protons and electrons are equal to 14.
Silicon belongs to the 4th group and the 3rd period on the periodic table. Elements in the same group share similar chemical properties. The elements in Si group are: C, Ge, Sn and Pb. The properties of Si is similar to these elements because they all have a valency of 4. Across the period, the properties varies this is why Si would have a very different property from Al and P.
