Question 1

The elements in this group are termed alkali metals.

◦ Group 1A
◦ Group 2A
◦ Group 3A
◦ Group 4A
◦ Group 5A

Question 2

The fact that the SO molecule is very unstable while O2 is stable can be best explained because:

◦ The S-O bond is inherently unstable.
◦ Sulfur lacks the ability to form double bonds.
◦ The difference in electronegativity between the sulfur atom and the oxygen atom makes it unlikely for the S-O bond to form.
◦ There exists much stronger pi bonding between oxygen atoms than between a sulfur atom and oxygen atom.
◦ None of these are correct.

The lipid bilayer is made of phospholipids. They are arranged in a double layer because one of their ends is attracted to water while the other is repelled by water.

Did you know?

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

Did you know?

Signs of depression include feeling sad most of the time for 2 weeks or longer; loss of interest in things normally enjoyed; lack of energy; sleep and appetite disturbances; weight changes; feelings of hopelessness, helplessness, or worthlessness; an inability to make decisions; and thoughts of death and suicide.

Stevens-Johnson syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis syndrome are life-threatening reactions that can result in death. Complications include permanent blindness, dry-eye syndrome, lung damage, photophobia, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, permanent loss of nail beds, scarring of mucous membranes, arthritis, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Many patients' pores scar shut, causing them to retain heat.
