Read/review the following resources for this activity:
- Textbook: Chapter 3, 7, and 8
- Unit 2 Lesson
Initial Post Instructions
Option 1:
Your initial post in the discussion this week consists of two parts. First, choose a molecule used in healthcare, industry, or found in a natural source and discuss the importance of this molecule. Be sure to include at least one outside source and make sure to follow APA citation guidelines.
In the second part of your initial post, we will be practicing naming ionic and covalent compounds as well as polyatomic ions. To begin, give the chemical formula for each of the following: A covalent compound containing no more than two types of elements, an ionic compound no more than two types of elements, and an ionic compound containing a polyatomic. Be sure that these compounds are valid (for example, the charges balance out in the ionic compound) and that the subscripts do not exceed 10.
Option 2:
Your initial post in the discussion this week consists of two parts. First, choose a molecule used in healthcare, industry, or found in a natural source and discuss the importance of this molecule. Be sure to include at least one outside source and make sure to follow APA citation guidelines.
The electron configuration of an atom determines the number of electrons available to participate in bonding with another atom. One method of depicting the valence electrons that an atom has is through the Lewis structure. For the second part of your initial post, pick an element from the periodic table of elements. Identify the valence electrons and the orbitals in which they reside.
ANSWER:
Part 1:
There are so many different molecules that can be used within healthcare, industry, and/or found in a natural source, but the one that I chose for this discussion is MORPHINE — C17H19NO3.This molecule is a well-known narcotic in which is used for the relief and treatment of severe pain. The bodies response to such a harsh drug happens within the brain- it changes the way that your body reacts to continue reading …
