<span>While treating food with gamma rays kills microorganism by damaging their DNA, the energy of gamma rays rips off electrons from atoms hence ionizing them (causing free radicals). However, gamma rays do not make the food atoms radioactive. The body has a natural mechanism of riding the body of free radicals. However, large quantities of radicals in the body can cause damage.</span>

Based on the Lewis/electron dot representation
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

A. 1:3

Explanation:

If we look at the ions shown in the image attached to the question, we will notice that we have aluminum (Al^3+), a trivalent ion combining with the iodide ion (I^-).

Aluminum can easily give out its three outermost electrons to three atoms of iodine. If aluminum gives out its three electrons, it achieves the stable octet structure. Iodine atoms have seven electrons in their outermost shell. They only need one more electrons to complete their octet. This one electron can be gotten by the combination of three iodine atoms with one atom of aluminum. One electron each is transferred from the aluminum atom to each iodine atom to form AlI3 with a ratio of 1:3.

Effectus [21]

Labels must clearly identify the chemical and include information on its hazards, plus instructions and information on its safe storage, handling, use, and disposal.

What does the information on the chemical label indicate?

The chemical label indicates the following information.

Product Identifier: The method used to identify the chemical (in the ingredient disclosure). On the label, include the complete chemical name or number that is used for the hazardous product. Both the label and SDS must have the same information. Abbreviations for chemicals are not accepted.

Signal Words: Assigned to a GHS hazard class and category, "Danger" or "Warning" are used to underline hazards and show the relative level of severity of the hazard.

Danger Statements: Typical expressions that are associated with a hazard class and category and that define the hazard's characteristics. On a label, there must be mention of every danger that applies.

Precautionary Statements: A term that describes actions that should be performed to reduce or eliminate negative effects brought on by exposure to or inappropriate storage of a substance.

Symbols (hazard pictograms): Convey information about environmental, physical, and health hazards that are categorized and allocated to a GHS hazard class.
