Answer:

water, carbon monoxide gas, Small lipid soluble substances

Explanation:

The BBB is a highly selective semi permeable membrane which prevents the solute in the blood from crossing or passing through the central nervous system of human brain.

It separates the blood from the brain.

In the context,

-- Water successfully crosses the BBB without any help. It can cross through diffusion.

-- carbon monoxide gas can cross BBB. Haemoglobin in blood has 200 times more affinity towards the carbon monoxide when it is compared with oxygen. This is why carbon monoxide poisoning affects the brain.

--- Small lipid soluble substances can also cross BBB without any help.

Chlorine and potassium atoms form ionic bonds, carbon atoms form non-polar covalent bonds with nitrogen atoms, and oxygen forms
Ray Of Light [21]

Explanation:

A covalent bond is formed when an element shares its valence electron with another element. This bond is formed between two non metals.

An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element. This bond is formed between a metal and an non-metal.

Chlorine and potassium atoms form ionic bonds: Ionic bond is formed when there is complete transfer of electron from a highly electropositive metal to a highly electronegative non metal.  Electronegativity difference = electronegativity of chlorine - electronegativity of potassium = 3-0.8 = 2.2

Carbon atoms form non-polar covalent bonds with nitrogen atoms : Non-polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is no difference of electronegativities between the atoms.  Electronegativity difference  = electronegativity of nitrogen  - electronegativity of carbon= 3.0-2.5 = 0.5

Oxygen forms polar covalent bonds with phosphorus: A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is a difference of electronegativities between the atoms.  Electronegativity difference = electronegativity of oxygen - electronegativity of phosphorous = 3.5- 2.19 = 1.31

Methane reacts with chlorine in the presence of ultraviolet light
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

When a mixture of methane and chlorine is exposed to ultraviolet light - typically sunlight - a substitution reaction occurs and the organic product is chloromethane. CH 4 + Cl 2 → CH 3 Cl + HCl However, the reaction doesn't stop there, and all the hydrogens in the methane can in turn be replaced by chlorine atoms.

What is the charge on the phosphorus atom in the polyatomic ion: PO4-3
oee [108]

+5

Explanation:

  The given radical is                 PO₄³⁻

To solve this problem, we need to understand what oxidation number entails.

The extent of the oxidation of each atom is expressed by the oxidation number.

Here are some rules for assigning them:

  • Elements in an uncombined state or elements that combines with one another, their oxidation number is zero.
  • The charge on an ion is its oxidation number
  • In an neutral compound, algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms is zero.
  • In a radical, the algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of the ions is equal to the charge on them.

Oxygen is known to have an oxidation number of -2;

                       

                          PO₄³⁻

 P + 4(-2) = -3

 P -8 = -3

  P = -3 + 8 = +5

The charge on phosphorus is +5
