Why is magnesium most reactive if it reacts with hydrochloric acid among lead copper silver zinc iron?
the chemical compound will ignite causing PB/LED
Food can spoil through mere exposure to air because it will lose electrons. This loss of electrons creates free radicals which destroy chemical bonds in the food causing it to spoil. What is this proc?
Oxidation
What are atoms in compounds held together by?
Atoms in compounds can be held together in a few ways, including both polar and non-polar covalent, ionic, coordinate, and a few others. These bonds are called INTRAMOLECULAR bonds, meaning that they are the bonds that hold individual atoms together in a compound, or molecule. ELECTRICAL FORCES HOLD ATOMS TOGETHER; ex. an atom's tendency to have a full valence shell. The atoms share their valence electrons, causing an electric attraction to occur between the atoms, forming what we call a chemical or atomic bond.Atoms and molecules (groups of atoms) attract via electromagnetic forces. Atoms consist of Electrons, Protons (which have positive and negative charge respectively) and Neutrons (which gives the atom mass).The movement of electrons within the atoms and molecules causes a charge. These charges are called electromagnetic forces. Two atoms or molecules which have opposite charges will attract each other and bond during a chemical reaction.

What vitamin e does to your body?
It is an antioxidant mainly for fats in cell membranes. It donates it reactive molecules to a free radicals so it doesn't reactive with your body's structure causing a change.
What are the similarities between alkali metals and halogens?
What causes these to be so reactive is the amount of electrons in the outer most level. Each level after the first (which has 2 if full) if filled will have 8 electrons. Halogens have less than that causing it to be reactive to other elements. (i don't know how many electrons it has in the outer level) The reason why it is reactive is (depending on how many electrons it has in the outer leve) because it is either trying to gain or lose those extra electrons.

What is the pollutant believed to be causing damage to the ozone layer?
The pollutant that is beleived to be causing damage is CFC. It is a synthetic chemical that might lead to ozone depletion.

How ionisation occurs in gas molecules?
Ionization occurs in gas molecules, either by heating the gas to a high enough temperature, or by applying a high enough voltage through the gas, so that the gas molecules lose electrons, causing the gas to be ionized, at which point it is a plasma.
What is the chemical principle involved in spectroscopic techniques in general?
Spectroscopic techniques revolve around different metal atoms absorbing/emitting light of specific energies and wavelengths from part of the electromagnetic spectrum. In each technique, the electrons of atoms absorb energy and become excited, causing them to move. Thespectroscopic processes can establish what atoms/molecules are present, how much and the molecules structure. Colorimetry is used to determine the concentration of a chemical in a solution by associating it with the intensity of the chemicals colour.
