To what family of the periodic table does this new element probably belong
julsineya [31]
<span>Ionization energy (IE) is the amount of energy required to remove an electron. If you observe the IEs sequentially, there is a large gap between the 2nd and 3rd. This suggests it is difficult to remove more than 2 two electrons. Elements that lose two electrons to become more stable are found in the Group 2A (2 representing the number of electrons in the outermost valence shell).</span>

How many bacteria can fit into an animal cell
melisa1 [442]
The size of most eukaryotic animal cells range from 1 - 30 micrometers while the size of, let's say coccus bacteria is between 0.5 - 1.0 micrometers. So, if the largest animal cell is filled with the largest coccus bacteria, we can say that 30 bacteria can fit inside.

Why chemically did the prescribing of thalidomide for morning sickness in pregnant women lead to tragic consequences, including
Dominik [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The drug thalidomide with molecular formula C13H10N2O4 was widely prescribed by doctors for morning sickness in pregnant women in the 1960s.

The drug was sold as a racemic mixture  (+)(R)-thalidomide and (-)(S)-thalidomide.

Unfortunately, only the  (+)(R)-thalidomide exhibited the required effect while (-)(S)-thalidomide is a teratogen.

This goes a long way to underscore the importance of separation of enantiomers in drug production.

Therefore, all the teratogenic effects observed when using the drug thalidomide was actually as a result of the presence of (-)(S)-thalidomide, the unwanted enantiomer.
