What are the symbols of the elements named after planets?

The symbols of the elements named after planets are: Lead (Pb) named after the planet Saturn Mercury (Hg) named after the planet Mercury Platinum (Pt) named after the dwarf planet Pluto Uranium (U) named after the planet Uranus Other elements also have symbols that may resemble planet symbols, but these are specifically named after planets.


What are the main sources of chlorine radicals?

The main sources of chlorine radicals are reactions involving chlorine-containing compounds such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the atmosphere. These compounds can release chlorine radicals when broken down by sunlight or other chemical reactions.


Why must free oxygen radicals be neutralized by cell?

Free radicals contain a non-paired electron (they have 1 less electron than they should have), making them super-reactive. These radicals can cause mutation by reacting with the nitrogenous bases on our cell's DNA. Some mutation are harmless, very few are beneficial but most of them are dangerous because they mess up with the protein production in our cells. Remember that proteins are pretty much the basis of life.


What are the valencies of phosphate?

Phosphate has a valency of -3 when it is in its ion form (PO4^3-). It can also form compounds with other elements where the valency can vary depending on the specific compound.


What substance contains a radical?

Substances that contain radicals are typically organic compounds, where a radical is an atom or group of atoms with an unpaired electron. Common examples include alkanes, alkenes, and aromatics. Radicals are important intermediates in many chemical reactions.
