Explanation

Question 2 of 16

1

Which of theses are reasons that oxygen is essential?

Select one or more of the following:

Explanation

Question 3 of 16

1

Why is oxygen classified as toxic?

Select one of the following:

  • When it accepts single electrons it is transformed into highly reactive oxygen radicals than can damage things.

  • When it accepts double electrons it is transformed into highly reactive oxygen radicals than can damage things.

  • When it accepts single electrons it is transformed into non-reactive oxygen radicals than can damage things.

  • It takes part in unnecessary reactions

Explanation
