Explanation

• Also Known As: Growth Hormone (GH)
• Produced By: Pituitary gland
• Function: Stimulates normal growth of bones, muscles, and tissues

Additional information:

• Deficiency can lead to dwarfism, excess can cause gigantism
• Regulates protein synthesis and metabolism in the body

Explanation

• Examples: Helium (He), Neon (Ne), Argon (Ar), Krypton (Kr), Xenon (Xe), Radon (Rn)
• Reason for Inactivity: Complete valence electron shell → chemically stable

Additional information:

• Rarely form compounds, mostly inert
• Used in lighting (Neon lights), welding (Argon), and as inert environments in laboratories

Explanation

Oxidation is the chemical process of:

• Losing electrons
• Oxidation state increases
• Always paired with reduction (together form redox)
• Reducing agent gets oxidized (it gives up the electrons)

Additional information 

Reduction:

• Gain electrons
• Oxidation state lowers
• Always paired with oxidation (redox)
• Oxidizing agent gets reduced

Explanation

• Cause of Air Pollution: Vehicle emissions, industrial smoke, burning fossil fuels
• Effective Solution: Planting more trees absorbs CO₂ and releases oxygen

Additional information:

• Trees also trap dust, smoke, and harmful gases

Explanation

• Condition: Kidneys fail to filter waste from blood (renal failure)
• Treatment: Dialysis removes waste and excess fluids from the blood artificially

Types of Dialysis:

• Hemodialysis: Blood filtered through a machine
• Peritoneal Dialysis: Uses lining of the abdomen to filter blood

Explanation

• Protium (¹H₁): 0 neutrons, 1 proton
• Deuterium (²H₁): 1 neutron, 1 proton
• Tritium (³H₁): 2 neutrons, 1 proton

All have 1 proton and 1 electron, differ only in neutron number
