Why does hemoglobin make blood red?

Blood contains a protein called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin, which contains iron, is found in red blood cells and is the ingredient that makes blood red. Hemoglobin transports oxygen from the lungs to wherever it's needed throughout your body. You've probably noticed that sometimes blood is bright red, while other times it is dark red. The difference in color comes from the changing amounts of oxygen in the blood. Arteries, a type of blood vessel, carry blood away from the lungs and heart to the rest of your body. That blood is rich in oxygen, which joins with hemoglobin to give the blood its bright red color. Tiny blood vessels called capillaries, which have narrow walls through which tiny substances can pass, distribute oxygen and nutrients to all of your body's cells.


What type of magnetic charge do ferric and ferrous ions contain?

If you mean electric charge the ferric ion has a 3+ charge, the ferrous ion has a 2+ charge.


What type of bond is present between oxygen and hemoglobin?

The bond between oxygen and hemoglobin is a reversible coordination bond formed between the iron atom in the heme group of hemoglobin and the oxygen molecule. This bond allows hemoglobin to transport oxygen from the lungs to tissues throughout the body.


Is CuCl2 type you or type II?

CuCl2 is a type II compound. In type II compounds, the cation can have multiple oxidation states, and the charge of the cation must be determined from the compound's formula. CuCl2 contains copper in the +2 oxidation state.


Is ferric oxide an element or a compound or a homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture?

Ferric oxide is a compound composed of iron and oxygen atoms. It is not an element because it is made up of more than one type of atom. Additionally, it is a homogeneous mixture because the iron and oxygen atoms are uniformly distributed throughout the compound.
