Concept explainers
A substance that ____ is considered to be a chemical compound.
- a. contains at least two different elements
- b. contains at least two atoms
- c. has a
chemical bond - d. has a stable valence shell
- e. has covalent bonds
Introduction:
Substances are made up of chemical components that are composed of either the same elements or different elements. It may be in different forms such as solid, liquid, and gaseous state.
Answer to Problem 1TYR
Correct answer:
A substance that contains at least two different elements is considered to be a chemical compound. Therefore, option a is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Justify reasons for the correct statement:
Substances that are composed of two or more different elements are said to be chemical compounds. Option (a) is given as “contains at least two different elements”. Hence, option (a) is correct.
Justify reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option (b) is given as “contains at least two atoms”, it is said to be diatomic in nature. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (c) is given as “has a chemical bond” all atoms are joined by a chemical bond. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (d) is given as “has a stable valence shell”. It is the outermost orbital of an atom. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (e) is given as “has covalent bond”. It is defined as the chemical bond that shares two electrons of two different atoms. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options (b), (c), (d), and (e) are incorrect.
Substances are made up of at least two different elements in a chemical component. Elements are linked by chemical bonds with different atoms. Substances may be in three different phases.

- a. What percentage of a drug is eliminated after 4 half-lives? Please round to the nearest percent. b. What will happen to elimination of the drug in the previous question if the system is saturated? explain and show any math involvedarrow_forwardIf you wanted to reduce the difference between peak and trough levels that occur with repeated administration of a drug, how would you adjust the dose and dose interval without changing the plateau concentration (plateau is the average of peak and trough levels)? Select your answers for both dose and interval. Hint: It may be helpful to think about this problem using an example such as food. How would you eat if you wanted to maintain very steady hunger/satiety levels without changing your total caloric intake? Options: A. Dose; Increase dose B. Dose; Decrease dose C. Dose; Do not change dose D. Interval; Increase the interval between doses (give the drug less frequently) E. Interval; Decrease the interval between doses (give the drug more frequently) F.
