Answer:

Fe2+ atom has a larger size than Fe3+.

Explanation:

The electron transport chain is important for the production of the ATP molecule. The oxygen molecule acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.

The size of the cation is always small as compared with the parental atoms. Two electrons are removed from Fe2+ and three electrons are removed from  Fe3+. This removal of electron increases the attraction force between the electron of the outermost shell and the nucleus and decreases the repulsion force between the electrons and thus decreases in size.

How does hair help prevent diseases?
Maru [420]

Hair plays an important role in our lives. The hair on our head keeps us warm and acts as a cushion for our skull. Hair appearance can also help form our identity and self-image, which makes hair loss very troubling.

Most hair disorders aren’t serious, but they are often considered major cosmetic issues that require treatment. Androgenetic alopecia is the most common form of hair loss, although there are a number of other hair conditions that can affect the scalp and other parts of the body.
