What chemical is in a hairspray can that is bad for the environment?
Carcinogens
When a chemical symbols and formulas are used as a shortcut to describe a chemical reaction is?
A chemical equation is used as a shortcut to describe a chemical reaction.
Is formulae used to describe molecules or to name compounds?
A chemical formula would describe a molecule by its constituent parts. The chemical name, however, also is based on chemical formula, and will also describe the molecule.
An expression that uses symbols to describe a chemical reaction?
chemical equations
Relationship of chemical formula chemical reaction and chemical equation?
Chemical formula is representative for the chemical compositon of a compound. Chemical equation is representative (describe) for a chemical reaction.
What chemical is in a hairspray can that is bad for the environment?
Carcinogens
What is the most dangerous chemical in a cigarette?
Carcinogens
What is a chemical which releases carcinogens in tobacco when burned?
fire
What has the author B Singer written?
B. Singer has written: 'Molecular biology of mutagens and carcinogens' -- subject(s): Carcinogens, Chemical mutagenesis, Molecular biology
What chemical agents cause cancer?
They are numerous( too many to list ), known as: 'Carcinogens'!
What do chemical equations describe?
A chemical formula describe and identify a chemical compound.
What is the difference between chemical and physical carcinogenesis?
A carcinogen is anything that causes cancer in humans or animals. Carcinogens can be chemical or physical agents or radiation. Chemical carcinogens include molecular substances that are found in a variety of different compounds, such as cigarette smoke and some pesticides; physical carcinogens are particles of soft or hard material that are not soluble in water. They exist as a solid compound. Ionizing radiation is an example of a radioactive carcinogen, as is found in UV light and medical x-rays
What is carcinogens and mutagens?
In genetics, a mutagen is a physical or chemical agent that changes the genetic material, mutagen can causes cancer. while a carcinogen is any substance, radionuclide or radiation that is an agent directly involved in causing cancer.
Do chemical equations describe chemical reactions?
A chemical equation is a short way to describe a chemical reaction, so yes.
When a chemical symbols and formulas are used as a shortcut to describe a chemical reaction is?
A chemical equation is used as a shortcut to describe a chemical reaction.
Is a chemical change a science principle?
yes
Which agency sets the guidelines for identifying a drug by chemical name?
IUPAc
