Answer: The compound in medicines should be non polar.
It is important for any drug to be able to dissolve itself through the cell membrane which consists of a lipid bi-layer, in order to diffuse in the body and circulate biologically, performing its function.
Non polar compounds are lipid soluble and therefore can dissolve in the lipid layers.
Polar compounds are water soluble and fail to cross the cell membrane.
Therefore scientists need to be sure of using compounds that are non polar in nature so they pass through the cell membrane and enter into the blood circulation of the body and perform its due function.
Explanation:
It's because they add to its hardness . Calcium is naturally dissolved in water
Solution:- Hypochlorite ion
has one Cl and one O atom. Cl has 7 valence electrons and O has 6 valence electrons. Since there is one negative charge on the ion,
total valence electrons = 7 + 6 +1 = 14
(note:- if there is negative charge then it is added and if there is positive charge then it is subtracted while calculating the valence electrons)
Both Cl and O atoms wants to complete their octet and so for this we put a single bond between them. Single bond means two electrons, so the remaining electrons would be 14 - 2 = 12
It means 12 electrons will be placed as lone pair of electrons. To complete the octet, we put 6 dots around each of the atom. Oxygen is more electron negative than Cl, so we show the -1 charge for oxygen.
The answer:
It is self Contained like a battery.
