Summary Introduction

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.

Conclusion

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.

Preoperative Diagnosis: Torn medial meniscus, left knee Postoperative Diagnosis: Combination horizontal cleavage tear/flap tear, posterior horn, medial meniscus, left knee. Operation: Arthroscopic subtotal medial meniscectomy, left knee Anesthetic: General endotracheal Description of Procedure: The patient was placed on the operating table in the supine position and general endotracheal anesthesia was administered. After an adequate level of anesthesia was achieved, the patient's left lower extremity was prepped with Betadine scrubbing solution, then draped in a sterile manner. Several sites were then infiltrated with 1% Xylocaine solution with Epinephrine to help control bleeding from stab wounds to be made at these sites. These stab wounds were made anterolaterally at the level of the superior pole of the patella for insertion of an irrigation catheter into the suprapatellar pouch area, anterolaterally at the level of the joint line for insertion of the scope and anteromedially at…
