Explanation

Vitamin D deficiency can cause Rickets, a disease characterized by:

• Soft and weak bones
• Skeletal deformities
• Stunted growth
• Increased risk of fractures

Explanation

Silver nitrate (AgNO3) is a strong oxidizing agent and a caustic substance.

It is also known as "lunar caustic" due to its historical use to treat lunar burns (sunburn).

Explanation

Carbon dioxide (CO2) reacts with calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2.

It is also known as lime water to form a white precipitate of calcium carbonate (CaCO3), which turns the solution milky:

Ca(OH)2 + CO2 → CaCO3 + H2O

This reaction is often used as a test for carbon dioxide.

Explanation

Chlorine (Cl) is a strong oxidizing agent.

It means it can accept electrons from other substances and cause them to be oxidized.

Explanation

Selenium (Se) is a metalloid, which means it exhibits some properties of metals and some properties of nonmetals.

Metalloids are elements that are intermediate in character between metals and nonmetals.

Explanation

Group VIII-A, also known as the noble gases, consists of:

• Helium (He)
• Neon (Ne)
• Argon (Ar)
• Krypton (Kr)
• Xenon (Xe)
• Radon (Rn)

Explanation

Bromine (Br2) is the only halogen that exists in a liquid state at room temperature.

It is a reddish-brown liquid with a melting point of -7.2°C or 19°F.

Explanation

Hydroiodic acid (HI) is the strongest acid.

The acidity of hydrohalic acids increases down the group in the periodic table.

Due to the decreasing bond strength and increasing bond length.

Explanation

Chlorine can be displaced by fluorine (F).

This is because fluorine is more reactive than chlorine.

As halogen reactivity decreases down the group in the periodic table.

Explanation

Ba is the chemical symbol for Barium, a chemical element with atomic number 56.

It is a soft, silvery-white alkaline earth metal.
