According to the frontier orbital theory, the symmetry of electrocyclic reactions is determined by:
 a. the total number of double bonds present in the molecule.
 b. the symmetry of the HOMO.
 c. the symmetry of the LUMO.
 d. proper orientation of the HOMO of one atom with the LUMO of the other atom.

Question 2

Which of the following statements is not true according to molecular orbital (MO) theory?
 a. Antibonding orbitals are higher in energy than the corresponding bonding orbital.
 b. The head-on overlap of an s and a p atomic orbital can produce a  molecular orbital.
 c. A  molecular orbital forms only from the combination of p atomic orbital wave functions.
 d. The subtractive combination of atomic orbital wave functions produces a bonding molecular orbital.

Most strokes are caused when blood clots move to a blood vessel in the brain and block blood flow to that area. Thrombolytic therapy can be used to dissolve the clot quickly. If given within 3 hours of the first stroke symptoms, this therapy can help limit stroke damage and disability.

In the ancient and medieval periods, dysentery killed about ? of all babies before they reach 12 months of age. The disease was transferred through contaminated drinking water, because there was no way to adequately dispose of sewage, which contaminated the water.
