Ethylene glycol itself has relatively low toxicity. However, because of its properties, ethylene glycol undergoes fairly rapid biotransformation in the liver into a variety of toxic compounds. Alcohols undergo oxidation reactions to form aldehydes, which can be further oxidized to a carboxylic acid. Initially, ethylene glycol is oxidized to glycoaldehyde, which is oxidized to glycolic acid. 4. Show the oxidation of ethylene glycol to form glycoaldehyde (hint: only one of the alcohol groups is oxidized to an aldehyde).

Two hydrogen atoms interact to form a hydrogen molecule. Classify the following statements that describe the stages of bond formation in a hydrogen molecule according to the predominant force existing between the two hydrogen atoms. Drag the appropriate items to their respective bins. ► View Available Hint(s) The potential energy of the system is at minimum. The two hydrogen atoms approach each other to form a bond. The two hydrogen atoms start to combine to form a hydrogen molecule. Attractive force is predominant between the two atoms The internuclear distance between the two hydrogen atoms is less than the bond length. Repulsive force is predominant between the two atoms The potential energy of the system is The two hydrogen atoms are very far positive. apart. Attractive and repulsive forces balance each other Reset The two hydrogen atoms form a stable hydrogen molecule. There is no interaction between the two atoms Help
