Answer:

Lactose is the sweetener that is used as a filler in tablets that makes compaction possible during tablet pressing.

Explanation:

<em>Lactose </em>is a naturally occurring large sugar molecule found in milk of mammals. It is composed of two simple sugars: <em>Glucose</em> and <em>Galactose</em>.

<em>Anhydrous Lactose</em> is produced by drying <em>lactose </em>solution on the surface of a heated drum. As a result small crystals of <em>anhydrous b-lactose</em> are formed with some<em> anhydrous a-lactose</em>. This anhydrous product has excellent compactability and high solubility due to its high <em>b-lactose</em> content. This highly compactable <em>lactose</em> powder is used in tablets for direct compression,

Which of the following describes a covalent bond?
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

D. It is the sharing of electrons between atoms with an electronegativity difference below 1.7

Covalent bonds share electrons, whereas ionic bonds exchange electrons. Covalent bonds have an electronegativity of 0.0-1.7 (0.0-0.3 is a nonpolar covalent bond and 0.3-1.7 is a polar covalent bond). Ionic bonds are bonds that go beyond the electronegativity of 1.7 to 4.0 (1.7-4.0).
