Question 1

Clorox is a laundry bleaching agent used to remove stains from white clothes. Suggest why the name begins with Clor- and ends with -ox.

Accepted Answer

A) Clor~ because it has chlorine, ~ox because it is as strong as an ox. 
B) The active ingredient contains chlorine atoms, which behave as strong oxidizing agents. 
C) Chlor~ because it has chlorine ions, ~ox because it is reduced. 
D) Chlor~ because it has chlorine ions, ~ox because it uses oxygen.
