b. Cu

b. Cu

Accepted Answer

Hello. In this problem, we are asked to identify which is true regarding function of iron in the body and its classification allergen transition element alkali earth metal or alkali metal. From the following, we are provided with four possible answers. A states component of hemoglobin halogen, answer B states component of hemoglobin transition element. Answer C states component of an oxygen carrier molecule, alkaline earth metal and answer D states component of an oxygen carrier molecule, alkaline metal. Let's look at the periodic table of elements. Recall that group one A is referred to as the alkali metals group two. A is referred to as the alkaline earth metals. We can try to remember this because alkali has a shorter name that's in group one A which is a smaller number and alkaline earth has a longer name and it's in group two A which is a larger number. Group A A is the noble gasses group seven A is the halogens and the transition elements are in the center of the periodic table. So in this case, we're interested in iron, iron is in period four and it is six over within the transition metal. So 12345. So this is then iron. So iron is a transition element that leads us then to answer B as being the correct answer. Answer A has halogen. So that's incorrect answer. C has alkaline earth metal which is incorrect and answer D states alkaline metal which is also incorrect. So iron is a component of hemoglobin. And hemoglobin is an oxygen carrier molecule. Thanks for watching. Hope this helped.
