Answer:

B. Halogen

Explanation:

Halogens are the family of chemical elements found in the group VIIA of the periodic table which means they possess seven (7) outer electrons. Some examples of halogens are Fluorine (F), Iodine (I), Bromine (Br), and Chlorine (Cl).

A halogen, or an element located in group 7A, will form a salt when reacted with a metal atom.

For example, when Chlorine reacts with Sodium it would form a salt known as Sodium Chloride.

Na + Cl ----> NaCl

Which chemical equations show an oxidation-reduction reaction? O2 + 2H2 → 2H2O MgSO4 + CaCl2 → MgCl2 + CaSO4 2Al + 6HI → 2AlI3 +

wolverine [178]

Answer:- $O_2+2H_2\rightarrow 2H_2O$ and $2Al+6HI\rightarrow 2All_3+3H_2$

Explanations:- In the first equation, the oxidation number of O is decreasing from 0 to -2 where as the oxidation number of H is increasing from 0 to +1. As the oxidation number is increasing for one element(H) and decreasing for other element(O), it is an oxidation-reduction reaction.

Second reaction is a double displacement reaction so there is no change to the oxidation numbers of the elements and hence it is not oxidation-reduction reaction.

In third reaction, the oxidation number of Al is increasing from 0 to +3 and the oxidation number of H is decreasing from +1 to 0. Here again there is an increase and decrease to the oxidation numbers of two elements, it is oxidation-reduction reaction.

fourth and fifth reactions are again double displacement reactions and so there is no change to oxidation numbers for any of the elements and they are not the oxidation-reduction reactions.

So, the only correct equations are $O_2+2H_2\rightarrow 2H_2O$ and $2Al+6HI\rightarrow 2All_3+3H_2$ .

There is a lot of talk about pH and shampoos. Some shampoos claim they balance the pH in your hair, others say they are alkaline

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:Yes it affects the conditions of the hair.

Explanation:most shampoos have pH values higher than the pH of the hair shaft of 3.6 and also higher than the pH of the hair scalp of 5.5. Therefore the usage of hair shampoo with pH values above 5.5 may likely increase the rate of friction which may cause hair breakage and facilitate hair tangling.

Why does the chloride ion have a charge of -1

Alexandra [31]

Explanation:

As we know that chloride ion is halogen. So it has seven valence electrons in its valence shell. Hence it gains one electron from others during chemical reaction to be stable. So Chloride ion have a negative charge of -1.
