Answer:
its true i just looked on quizlet
Explanation:
Answer:
For much of the past century, scientists studying drugs and drug use labored in the shadows of powerful myths and misconceptions about the nature of addiction. When scientists began to study addictive behavior in the 1930s, people with an addiction were thought to be morally flawed and lacking in willpower. Those views shaped society’s responses to drug use, treating it as a moral failing rather than a health problem, which led to an emphasis on punishment rather than prevention and treatment.
Today, thanks to science, our views and our responses to addiction and the broader spectrum of substance use disorders have changed dramatically. Groundbreaking discoveries about the brain have revolutionized our understanding of compulsive drug use, enabling us to respond effectively to the problem.
As a result of scientific research, we know that addiction is a medical disorder that affects the brain and changes behavior. We have identified many of the biological and environmental risk factors and are beginning to search for the genetic variations that contribute to the development and progression of the disorder. Scientists use this knowledge to develop effective prevention and treatment approaches that reduce the toll drug use takes on individuals, families, and communities.
Despite these advances, we still do not fully understand why some people develop an addiction to drugs or how drugs change the brain to foster compulsive drug use. This booklet aims to fill that knowledge gap by providing scientific information about the disorder of drug addiction, including the many harmful consequences of drug use and the basic approaches that have been developed to prevent and treat substance use disorders.
At the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), we believe that increased understanding of the basics of addiction will empower people to make informed choices in their own lives, adopt science-based policies and programs that reduce drug use and addiction in their communities, and support scientific research that improves the Nation’s well-being.
Oxygen is the 2nd most electronegative element. When you examine a periodic table, you will find that (excluding the noble gases) the electronegativity values tend to increase as you go to the right and up. The reverse statement is that the values tend to decrease going down and to the left.
Answer:
The statement is considered to be true
Explanation:
The statement is true because when elements chemically combine, there are interactions between their valence electrons, causing the two elements to be bonded together to form what is known as a compound.
Compounds can only be formed from interactions between two or more elements. examples include:
Hydrogen + Oxygen = H2O (water)
Sodium + Chlorine = NaCl
Note that if atoms of the same element combine, what is formed is a molecule, not a compound. Some atoms usually do this to attain stability. examples include = O2 H2 and N2. They are oxygen molecule, hydrogen molecule, and nitrogen molecule respectively.
Compounds are only formed when different elements combine to attain electronic stability.
