Answer:
The use of phenol (carbolic acid) as a wound disinfectant was first practiced by Lister. The correct option is E
Explanation:
Phenol( carbolic acid) is an aromatic organic compound. It has the following properties:
- it's soluble in water
- it's a weak acid and
- highly reactive toward electrophilic aromatic substitution
In Medical field, phenol was first used as an antiseptic by Joseph Lister.Joseph Lister was a student at University College London under Robert Liston, later rising to the rank of Surgeon at Glasgow Royal Infirmary. He believed that patients who passed through surgery, died due to infections caused by microorganisms.He theorized that if germs could be killed or prevented, no infection would occur. Lister reasoned that a chemical could be used to destroy the micro-organisms that cause infection. He made use of the carbolic acid by soaking a clean cloth in them, and placing it over the surgical wounds of patients.
Because if all the trees and grasslands are to disappear and turn into deserts then there would be no oxygen for us

See explanation
Explanation:
The magnitude of electronegativity difference between atoms in a bond determines whether that bond will be polar or not.
If the electronegativity difference between atoms in a bond is about 1.7, the bond is ionic. If the electronegativity difference is greater than 0.4 and less than 1.7, the bond will have a polar covalent character. Lastly, if the electronegativity difference between the bond is less than or equal to 0.4, the covalent bond is non polar.
The electronegativity difference between carbon and hydrogen is about 0.4 which corresponds to a nonpolar covalent bond hence the molecule is nonpolar.
The electronegativity difference between carbon and fluorine is about 1.5 indicating a highly polar bond. This gives CH3F an overall dipole moment thereby making the molecule polar.
