A covalent bond means shared electrons between atoms. This is similar to kids sharing markers because the markers (electrons) are being shared between the kids (atoms). Covalent bonds are different than this metaphor because 1) the electrons are constantly moving about while the kids can steal and keep the markers and 2) the electrons and atoms are physically smaller
The FDA would have better authority i guess than the manufacturer and it would be safer for the FDA to test it out. Hope it helps
Phenolphthalein Phenolphthalein is a universal indicator, which means it changes color to show the pH of certain solutions. Phenolphthalein stays colorless in acidic solutions and turns pink in alkaline solutions. Sodium hydroxide is a base, so when you add phenolphthalein, the solution turns pink. Other indicators commonly used in the laboratory are litmus and methyl orange. A Litmus indicator solution goes red in acidic solutions, blue in alkaline solutions and purple in neutral solutions. Methyl orange turns red in acidic solutions and yellow in neutral or alkaline solutions.
