The correct option for the statement “How strontium and calcium are similar and why strontium can be deposited in bone tissues.”
Answer to Problem 7RAT
The correct option for the statement “How strontium and calcium are similar and why strontium can be deposited in bone tissues.” is an option (b).
Explanation of Solution
The periodic table has a certain arrangement of elements in the horizontal periods and the vertical groups. The groups are basically the vertical arrangement of atoms. In a group, atoms usually show the similar chemical properties.
The group
Thus, strontium tends to accumulate in place of calcium in the bone tissues due to the same chemical properties as they belong to the same group in the periodic table.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the correct option is an option (b).
