Throughout the body, blood is transported through vessels (arteries, veins and capillaries). Within the arteries (biggest vessels), different factors can cause the build up of cholesterol in the wall of t...

The electron configuration of zinc is [Ar]4s²3d¹⁰. The only oxidative state which zinc has is Zn²⁺ in which its configuration is [Ar] (4s⁰⁾3d¹⁰, as t...
