Thus, halogens need only one more electron to complete their octet and to attain the stable noble gas configuration. … Therefore, they have a high tendency to gain an electron. Hence, they act as strong oxidizing agents. Are halogens oxidized? All halogens possess the oxidation state 0 in their diatomicRead More →
Leavening agents are used in food products to help create structure and texture through gas expansion as a result of a chemical reaction, or as the nucleation seed for gas formation. What are 4 Classification of Leaveners? THE FOUR BASIC LEAVENING GASES: The basic leavening gases commonly found in bakingRead More →

The plaintiff sued the gratuitous agent for negligence. It was held that the gratuitous agent was in breach of his duty for not taking care. Note however (as was held in Cohen V. Kittel)-an agent cannot be sued for not performing an illegal act. For which reason may the agentRead More →
Calcium disodium ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (CaNa2EDTA) is the most commonly used chelating agent. It is a derivative of ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA); a synthetic polyamino-polycarboxylic acid and since 1950s has been one of the mainstays for the treatment of childhood lead poisoning . What is a chelating agent in chemistry?Read More →
Due to low ionization potential and having the smallest nuclear charge, they can easily lose an electron. Hence, alkali metals are considered a powerful reducing agent. A substance that loses electrons to other substances in a redox reaction and gets oxidized to the higher valency state is called a reducingRead More →
In the U.S. and its territories, FBI special agents may make arrests for any federal offense committed in their presence or when they have reasonable grounds to believe that the person to be arrested has committed, or is committing, a felony violation of U.S. laws. Does FBI fall under lawRead More →
If the oxidation number is less, then it gained electrons and was reduced. The substance that is reduced in a reaction is the oxidizing agent because it gains electrons. The substance that is oxidized in a reaction is the reducing agent because it lost electrons. Which acid is not aRead More →
Antimicrobials work at a cellular level to continually disrupt and prevent the growth of microorganisms. By creating an inhospitable environment for microorganisms like bacteria, mold and mildew, antimicrobials protect everyday products like countertops, toys, surface coatings, textiles and hospital equipment. Is antimicrobial or antibacterial better? The primary difference between antibacterialRead More →
