<h2>Intercostal Muscle</h2>

Explanation:

Very young children tend to breathe predominantly with their diaphragm because:

c. their intercostal muscles are not fully developed.

Intercostal muscle are located between the ribs and helps in the movement with of the chest. These help in increasing the volume of the chest and are mainly associated with the breathing. Young childrens do not have very well developed intercostal muscle and so they use their diaphragm to breathe.

Predict the dominant type of bonding by considering electronegativity.
Vlad1618 [11]
If the atoms that are bonding have identical electronegativities, then it's a completely nonpolar covalent bond. This doesn't happen in the real world unless the two atoms are of the same element. In a practical sense, any two elements with an electronegativity difference less than 0.3 is considered to be nonpolar covalent.
As the difference between the atoms increases, the covalent bond becomes increasingly polar. At a polarity difference of 1.7 (this changes depending on who you ask) we consider it no longer to be a covalent bond and to be the electrostatic interactions characteristic in an ionic compound.
Just so you know, you shouldn't take these values as exact. ALL interactions between adjacent atoms involve some sharing of electrons, no matter how big the difference in electronegativity. Sure, you wouldn't expect much sharing in KF, but there's a little sharing of electrons anyway. There's certainly no big cutoff that happens at a difference of 1.7 Pauling Electronegativity units.

Phenacetin can be made using either the Williamson ether synthesis or the amide synthesis.
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Phnacetin can be produced using Williamson-ether synthesis. In this, phenacetin is derived from acetaminophen and the reaction involve interaction of alkoxide or phenoxide with a methyl or primary alkyl halide

In amide synthesis mechanism, acetic anhydride and phenetidine (p-ethoxyaniline)  react to phenacetin through a  nucleophilic acyl substitution

Hence, the given statement is true
