Why is Mercury considered a heavy metal?
Well, the IUPAC calls the heavy metal "meaningless and misleading" because there is a lack of a "coherent scientific basis". However, heavy metals usually refers to metals that are damaging to organisms or environments in excess concentrations.
The most important minerals stored in bones are?
The most important minerals stored in bones are calcium and phosphorus. These minerals play a crucial role in maintaining bone density and strength. Additionally, other minerals like magnesium, fluoride, and potassium are also stored in bones to support various functions in the body.
What minerals are stored in bones?
Calcium and phosphate are the primary minerals stored in bones, contributing to their strength and density. Other minerals present in bones include magnesium, sodium, and fluoride, which play important roles in bone health and development.
What 3 minerals are stored in bones?
Most bones actually store minerals, just some more than other. for example the humerus* ( Big leg bone ) may store more minerals as it is the biggest bone in the body and has a bigger capacity.Knowledge : AS level student.*(From a person who didn't write this: The femur is actually the longest bone in the body, which is in the leg. I'm in high school :P)
How are bones attached to other bones?
Bones are attached to each other by ligaments, strong bands of tissue that may be flexible in some motions.(The similar tissues, tendons, connect the muscles to other muscles and to bones.)
Is platinum heavy compared to other metals?
Yes, platinum is heavy compared to other metals.
Is real gold light or heavy in comparison to other metals?
Real gold is heavy in comparison to other metals.
Why are lead and mercury considered heavy metals?
they are considered heavy metals because of the weight to volume ration in comparison to other metals. they have more mass with little volume than other metals do.
What is the difference between heavy metals and the other metals?
Scientifically speaking, there are a couple of fundamental differences between heavy metals and other metals in the table of the elements. Heavier metals tend to have more ions and typically, less toxic elements.
Can the body leach heavy metals?
Not easily. The molecular size of heavy metals means the kidneys struggle to excrete them. Most heavy metals are stored in hair, finger nails and other body tissues. Many, such as copper, lead, iron, are toxic if ingested in large amounts.
Is gold one of the lightest metals?
No, gold is not one of the lightest metals. It is actually quite dense and heavy compared to many other metals.
Why ammonia is added in heavy metals limit test?
Ammonia is added in heavy metals limit tests to precipitate heavy metals as their insoluble hydroxides. This allows for the separation of heavy metals from other interfering substances in the sample, making it easier to detect and quantitate the heavy metals present.
How many metals found in the inner core?
The primary metals in the core are iron and nickel with lesser amounts of other heavy metals.
What element poisons the brain?
Mercury, lead, and many other heavy metals.
What metals softer and more reactive than other metals?
Potassium, sodium, and lithium are softer and more reactive than other metals. They are typically stored in oil or kerosene to prevent them from reacting with moisture in the air.
What heavy metals cause heavy metal poisoning?
Common heavy metals that can cause heavy metal poisoning include lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, and chromium. These metals can accumulate in the body over time and lead to various health problems, including damage to the brain, kidneys, liver, and other organs. Exposure to heavy metals can occur from sources such as contaminated water, air pollution, certain foods, and occupational hazards.
What is the inner core believed to be compose of?
Solid iron, with impurities of other heavy metals
