Blue Zone is the hottest part of the flame that is where the flame has the most Oxygen and you are getting complete combustion. It is about 1400 degrees Centigrades. The Reddish part (Non - Luminous Zone) is the coolest part, about 800 deg C.

The art and science of map making is called Cartography.

Domestic policy is the decisions made by a government regarding issues that occur within the country.

The Clean Air Act NATO program is an example of domestic policy.

Any two amino acids vary structure by the r-group, otherwise all amino acids are in the same structure. All amino acids have in common carboxyl group -COO , amino group -NH3+ and a hydrogen -H and a r-group which are all bonded to a central carbon.

Assemblers are used to translate a program written in a low-level assembly language into a machine code (object code) file so it can be used and executed by the computer.

Hence, Assembler is the translator program used in assembly language.

A callous person is insensitive or emotionally hardened.

Hence, Callous is the opposite of Sympathetic, kind hearted, sensitive, nice,...

A redox reaction is a type of reaction which involves transfer of electrons among two species. This reaction is also called oxidation-reduction reaction.

In oxidation process, there is an increase in oxidation state of an atom, ion or molecule by losing the electrons.

In reduction process, there is a decrease in oxidation state of an atom, ion or molecule by accepting the electrons.

1)

In this reaction, Ba undergoes oxidation and Cl undergoes reduction.
This reaction is redox reaction.
In this reaction, oxidation number of Ba increases from 0 to +2 . So, Ba undergoes oxidation. The oxidation number of Cl decreases from 0 to -1. So, Cl undergoes reduction.

2) 

From this above reaction, it is clear that Aluminum undergoes oxidation and silver undergoes reduction.
Due to this, this reaction is redox reaction.

In this reaction, oxidation number of Aluminum increases from 0 to +1. So, aluminum undergoes oxidation. The oxidation number of silver decreases from +1 to 0. So, silver undergoes reduction.

3)

In this reaction, Mg undergoes oxidation and Br undergoes reduction.
This reaction is redox reaction.
The reactions 1, 3 and 4 are redox reactions.
In this reaction, oxidation number of Mg increases from 0 to +2 . So, Mg undergoes oxidation. The oxidation number of Br decreases from 0 to -1 . So, Br undergoes reduction.

Hence all the above reactions are redox reactions.
