(a)
Interpretation:
To determine the term dimer.
Concept introduction:
The term dimer refers to an oligomer in which two monomer units are joined together by bonds which can either be weak or strong, intermolecular or covalent.
(b)
Interpretation:
To determine the term adduct.
Concept introduction:
The term adduct refers to the product formed as a result of direct addition of two or more molecules that are distinct and hence the result is a single reaction product which consists of all the atoms of all the components which were involved in the reaction.
(c)
Interpretation:
To determine the term calcination.
(d)
Interpretation:
To determine the term amphoteric oxide.
Concept introduction:
An amphoteric compound refers to an ion or a molecule that has the ability to react with both an acid and a base. There are many metals which form amphoteric oxides and hydroxides.
(e)
Interpretation:
To define the term three -center two -electron bond.
Concept introduction:
The term bond refers to the force of attraction which exists between two atoms or molecules. The term electron refers to the negatively charged particles which are found in the atom.

- (A) if both sentences are true, (B) if both sentences are false, (C) if the first sentence is true but the second is false, and (D) if the first sentence is false but the second is true. 1. In oxygen fixation, the alkaline-iodide-azide solution was used to acidify the solution. The brown hydrated precipitate that formed in the process of oxygen fixation was magnesium hydroxide. 2.Visual inspection is enough to determine if water is of appropriate quality. The standards for drinking water quality are typically set by governments or by international standards. 3.Deeper levels of water often do not reach 100% air saturation equilibrium because they are not shallow enough to be affected by the waves and photosynthesis at the surface. The dissolved oxygen content is an important index when considering its suitability for town supply. 4. The normality (N) of a solution is determined by multiplying the molarity of the solution by its volume. In the standardization of the sodium thiosulfate…arrow_forwardThe average daily dose recommended by hematologists for drugs is no more than 200 mg in terms of elemental iron.
