<span>Several
important pollutants are produced by fossil fuel combustion: carbon
monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and hydrocarbons. In addition,
total suspended particulates contribute to air pollution, and nitrogen
oxides and hydrocarbons can combine in the atmosphere to form
tropospheric ozone, the major constituent of smog.
Carbon monoxide is a gas formed as a by-product during the incomplete
combustion of all fossil fuels. Exposure to carbon monoxide can cause
headaches and place additional stress on people with heart disease. Cars
and trucks are the primary source of carbon monoxide emissions.
Two oxides of nitrogen--nitrogen dioxide and nitric oxide--are formed in
combustion. Nitrogen oxides appear as yellowish-brown clouds over many
city skylines. They can irritate the lungs, cause bronchitis and
pneumonia, and decrease resistance to respiratory infections. They also
lead to the formation of smog. The transportation sector is responsible
for close to half of the US emissions of nitrogen oxides; power plants
produce most of the rest.
Sulfur oxides are produced by the oxidization of the available sulfur in
a fuel. Utilities that use coal to generate electricity produce
two-thirds of the nation's sulfur dioxide emissions. Nitrogen oxides and
sulfur oxides are important constituents of acid rain. These gases
combine with water vapor in clouds to form sulfuric and nitric acids,
which become part of rain and snow. As the acids accumulate, lakes and
rivers become too acidic for plant and animal life. Acid rain also
affects crops and buildings.
Hydrocarbons are a broad class of pollutants made up of hundreds of
specific compounds containing carbon and hydrogen. The simplest
hydrocarbon, methane, does not readily react with nitrogen oxides to
form smog, but most other hydrocarbons do. Hydrocarbons are emitted from
human-made sources such as auto and truck exhaust, evaporation of
gasoline and solvents, and petroleum refining.
The white haze that can be seen over many cities is tropospheric ozone,
or smog. This gas is not emitted directly into the air; rather, it is
formed when ozone precursors mainly nonmethane hydrocarbons and nitrogen
oxides react in the presence of heat and sunlight. Human exposure to
ozone can produce shortness of breath and, over time, permanent lung
damage. Research shows that ozone may be harmful at levels even lower
than the current federal air standard. In addition, it can reduce crop
yields.
Finally, fossil fuel use also produces particulates, including dust,
soot, smoke, and other suspended matter, which are respiratory
irritants. In addition, particulates may contribute to acid rain
formation.
Also, water and land pollution.

I think your answer is D. However I’m not 100% sure.
Answer is: Both a fluorine atom and a bromine atom gain one electron, and both atoms become stable.
Fluorine and bromine are in group 17 in Periodic table of elements. Group 17 (halogens) elements are in group 17: fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br) and iodine (I). They are very reactive and easily form many compounds.
Halogens need to gain one electron to have electron cofiguration like next to it noble gas.
Fluorine has atomic number 9, it means it has 9 protons and 9 electrons.
Fluorine tends to have eight electrons in outer shell like neon (noble gas) and gains one electron in chemical reaction.
Electron configuration of fluorine: ₉F 1s² 2s² 2p⁵.
Electron configuration of neon: ₁₀Ne 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.
Answer:
1.2×10² mmole of Na₂S₂O₃
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Volume = 0.6 L
Molarity = 0.2 mol/L
Mole of Na₂S₂O₃ =?
Molarity is simply defined as the mole of solute per unit litre of water. Mathematically, it is expressed as:
Molarity = mole /Volume
With the above formula, we can obtain the number of mole of Na₂S₂O₃ in the solution as illustrated below:
Volume = 0.6 L
Molarity = 0.2 mol/L
Mole of Na₂S₂O₃ =?
Molarity = mole /Volume
0.2 = Mole of Na₂S₂O₃ / 0.6
Cross multiply
Mole of Na₂S₂O₃ = 0.2 × 0.6
Mole of Na₂S₂O₃ = 0.12 mole
Finally, we shall convert 0.12 mole to millimole (mmol). This can be obtained as follow:
1 mole = 1000 mmol
Therefore,
0.12 mole = 0.12 mole × 1000 mmol / 1 mole
0.12 mole = 120 = 1.2×10² mmole
Thus, the chemist added 1.2×10² mmole of Na₂S₂O₃
