Chemistry in Daily LifeDraw orbital sketches and build the models for:
a) Ethene/ethylene (C₂H4). Each carbon in ethene has 3 regions (gray pieces, sp2) this molecule is trigonal planar, the 3D structure is done with solid lines, all in the same plane)
b) Ethyne/acethylene (C₂H₂). There is only one triple bond (gray) with regions above and below the internudtear axis. The piece already represents the two carbons of the triple bond, just add the two hydrogens (white spheres). The piece without H represents 4 carbons. The angles around each carbon are 180⁰.

Chemistry in Daily LifeWhich of the following is NOT true about the history of drug discovery?
All early effective medicines were plant derived because plants were the only sources of
small organic molecules.
Quinine was used by the Romans as an antimalarial compound, the modern analog of which
is chloroquine.

Chemistry in Daily LifeWhat is the difference between mass number and atomic mass?
Atomic mass is the mass of an atom. When the mass is expressed in u, the mass of a proton and of a neutron are both relatively small. Because the mass of an electron is one, the mass number approximates the atomic mass.
O Atomic mass is the mass of an atom. When the mass is expressed in u, the mass of a proton and of a neutron are both approximately one. Because the
mass of an electron is also one, the mass number approximates the atomic mass.
O Atomic mass is the mass of an atom. When the mass is expressed in u, the mass of a proton and of a neutron are both approximately one. Because the mass of an electron is small relative to that of a proton or neutron, the mass exactly equals the atomic mass.
O Atomic mass is the mass of an atom. When the mass is expressed in u, the mass of a proton and of a neutron are both approximately one. Because the mass of an electron is small relative to that of a proton or neutron, the mass number approximates the atomic mass.
