Heroin was originally going to be called "wunderlich", a German word for wonderful, since one chemist thought the substance made

him feel wonderful. However, the substance was named heroin because it made another chemist feel:

Answer:

heroic

Explanation:

Bayer, a German pharmaceutical company, named the substance it synthesized "heroin", probably from the word heroisch, German for heroic, because in field studies people using the medicine felt "heroic".

BTW, I found this information on this wedsite: https://www.answers.com/Q/Where_did_heroin_get_its_name

Also, if you want some more history about this drug, you can visit this article: https://www.narconon.org/drug-information/heroin-history.html

Silver has two naturally isotopes and has an atomic mass of 107.868 amu. One isotope is Ag-109 isotope (108.905 amu) and has a n
Triss [41]

Answer:  106.905

Explanation:  If there are only 2 isotopes, and 1 of them is 48.16%, the second must, by default, be (100 - 48.16%) = 51.84%  The final, averaged, atomic mass is 107.868.  This is made up of each isotope's atomic mass times the percentage of that isotope in the total sample.  The weighted value of the known isotope (109) plus that of the unknown must come to the observed value of 107.868 amu.  (107.868 - 52.45 = 55.42).  Divide that by the % for that isotope (55.42/0.5184) = 106.90 amu for the second isotope.

<u>Atomic Mass</u>  <u>% of Sample</u> <u>Weighted Value</u>

    108.905         48.16%              52.45

          X               51.84%              <u>55.42</u>

                                                     107.87

      X = (55.42/0.5184) = 106.90 amu

The hybridization of nitrogen in NH4NO3
givi [52]

Answer:

In chemistry, orbital hybridisation (or hybridization) is the concept of mixing atomic orbitals into new hybrid orbitals (with different energies, shapes, etc., than the component atomic orbitals) suitable for the pairing of electrons to form chemical bonds in valence bond theory. Hybrid orbitals are very useful in the explanation of molecular geometry and atomic bonding properties and are symmetrically disposed in space. Although sometimes taught together with the valence shell electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory, valence bond and hybridisation are in fact not related to the VSEPR model.
