Question
Which of theses are reasons that oxygen is essential?
Answer
-
Oxidation reactions
-

Question 3
Question
Why is oxygen classified as toxic?
Answer
-
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
