Hey there!
Solid Sodium and water will react spontaneously and release energy. This is based on the reactivity series. Sodium is a highly reactive metal and hence, it is placed at the top of the reactivity series. This is because it loses its outermost electron very readily. When it comes in contact with water, it reacts with it violently to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. This reaction is exothermic and hence, accompanied with a release of energy. Gold lies at the bottom of the reactivity series as it is very stable and does not give away its outermost electrons easily. Therefore, when it comes in contact with water, there is no reaction and no release of energy.
Answer: Fluorine contains seven valence electrons. It needs one more electron to complete its octet. The oxidation number is 1- and indicates fluorine will gain or share one electron when it combines with another atom to become a more stable compound.

Hey I don’t know the answers but try to use the app Socratic or photomath
It is true that the major ways people are exposed to toxins are by ingesting them, inhaling them, injecting them, or absorbing them through the skin.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Toxins can enter in four various ways into our body often referred as "route of exposure". It is one among many factors affecting toxicity.
Inhalation: When the toxin is a gas, it is usually absorbed into the body by inhalation. Inhalation of toxins may cause respiratory and lung damage. Eg: cigarette smoke
Absorption: If a toxin enters the human eye or skin, it can be absorbed into the bloodstream. This is called absorption. The skin can prevent some toxins from entering the body. For example: work stations (gas stations) where people work with toxins
Ingestion means that the person has ingested the toxin. Some chemicals cannot get into blood from digestive tract. For example: drinking contaminated water.
The injected toxin enters the body when the person carrying the toxin breaks the skin. Injections can end in veins, muscles or just under the skin. Eg: Botulinum (used to get rid of wrinkles)
In bio-chemistry, poison, a natural or synthetic substance that damages living tissue and has a harmful or lethal effect on the body, regardless of whether it is absorbed, inhaled or injected through the skin.
Explanation:
There are many properties that scientists use to describe waves. They include amplitude, frequency, period, wavelength, speed, and phase. Each of these properties is described in more detail below. When drawing a wave or looking at a wave on a graph, we draw the wave as a snapshot in time.
