Answer 2

The correct answer is fluorine (option b) used for dental health.

• The fluorine is a halogen atom represented as "F".

• Fluorine is used in dental health because of its properties like strengthening the tooth and preventing plaque formation on teeth.

• The mechanism of fluorine action can be explained as below:

1. When the fluorine is incorporated into a dental product like toothpaste (in the form of fluoride), it forms the layer on teeth enamel.
2. This prevents acid production or is difficult to be dissolved in acid. Hence, prevent dental caries and plaque formation.

• Lithium is a trace element necessary for oral health while neon is a gaseous element.

• Hence, Fluorine is an important element used for dental health.
