Nicotine on direct application in humans causes irritation and burning sensation in the mouth and throat, increased salivation, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea. Predominant immediate effects consist of increase in pulse rate and blood pressure. Nicotine also causes an increase in plasma free fatty acids, hyperglycemia, and an increase in the level of catecholamines in the blood. There is reduced coronary blood flow but an increased skeletal muscle blood flow. The increased rate of respiration causes hypothermia, a hypercoagulable state, decreases skin temperature, and increases the blood viscosity.
For amphetamine the immediate effects are quicker reaction times, feelings of energy/wakefulness, excitement, increased attentiveness and concentration, feelings of euphoria. Side effects of amphetamines can include heart palpitations, dry mouth, headache, hostility, nausea, cognitive impairment, severe anxiety, lack of appetite, teeth grinding, dizziness, increased heart rate, heart palpitations, rapid breathing rate, hypertension (high blood pressure), increased body temperature, erectile dysfunction, irregular heartbeat.
Cocaine causes a short-lived, intense high that is immediately followed by the opposite intense depression, edginess and a craving for more of the drug the side effects are Loss of appetite increased heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, contracted blood vessels increased rate of breathing, dilated pupils, disturbed sleep patterns, nausea, hyperstimulation, bizarre, erratic, sometimes violent behavior hallucinations, hyperexcitability, irritability, tactile hallucination that creates the illusion of bugs burrowing under the skin, intense euphoria, anxiety and paranoia, depression, intense drug craving, panic and psychosis, convulsions, seizures and sudden death from high doses (even one time)
<span>1) Which of
the following is a possible formula unit? PbO - Li2B - Al2Pb3
- ClO
The correct answer is PbO which is Lead(II) oxide – also known as Lead Monoxide
– which is an inorganic compound. It is an Amphoteric oxide which can be found,
in modern use, in industrial glass, ceramics, or computer components, due to
its crystal structure. </span>

<span>2) What is
the formula of a compound formed between iodine (I) and calcium (Ca)?
Calcium will always give two electrons. but iodine can receive only one. Therefore
two atoms of iodine react with one atom of calcium to give CaI2. Their bond is
an ionic bond.
Ca 2+ + 2I 1- --> CaI2</span>

<span>3) What is
the resulting formula unit when strontium (Sr) and phosphorus (P) bond?
Strontium (Sr) wants to lose two (2) electrons, and phosphorus (P) wants to
gain three (3). By using the criss-cross method, if you flip the 2 and 3 to the
opposite elements, you will end up with the formula Sr3P2.</span>
