Where are the stone deposits deposits of bill salts found?

The stone deposits of bill salts, commonly referred to as bile salts, are primarily found in the liver and gallbladder of animals, particularly in bile. These salts are synthesized from cholesterol and are stored in the gallbladder before being released into the small intestine to aid in the digestion and absorption of fats. In some cases, these bile salts can form gallstones, which can be found in the gallbladder or bile ducts.


What block is highly reactive element that forms salts with halogens?

The highly reactive element that forms salts with halogens is found in the alkali metals group, specifically in the s-block of the periodic table. Elements like sodium (Na) and potassium (K) readily react with halogens, such as chlorine, to form ionic compounds known as salts, like sodium chloride (table salt). Their high reactivity is due to their tendency to lose one electron, making them eager to bond with halogen elements that readily gain electrons.
