<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option B.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A covalent bond is formed when sharing of electrons takes place between the atoms combining. The atom which attracts the shared pair of electron towards itself is more electronegative and the atom which does not attracts the shared pair of electron towards itself is less electronegative.

In HCl molecule, more electronegative atom is chlorine atom having an electronegativity of 3.16 and hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.1

So, majority of shared electrons will be found near to the chlorine atom in hydrochloric molecule.

Hence, the correct answer is Option B.

A sample of fluorine gas has a volume of 5.63 L at 14°C and standard pressure. What will be the pressure in atm if the moles of
soldier1979 [14.2K]

With standard pressure there is a set list of values. (at STP), most common is 760torr. So whenever you see "at STP" or "at standard temperature pressure" you will use 760torr for pressure. Same thing goes with temperature, if you're not given temp and it says at STP you will use 273K.

For this problem:

You will be using the combined gas law:

(Pressure 1) x (Volume 1) / (Temp. 1) = (Pressure 2) x (Volume 2) / (Temp. 2)

(760torr) x (5.63L) / (287K) = (?) (9.21L) / (287K)

Pressure 2 = 465torr

*Hope this clarifies STP for you! :)

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.
