Answer to Question 1

a

Answer to Question 2

a

Answer to Question 3

a

Answer to Question 4

The all five carbons are sp2 hybridized. The lone pair is in a p orbital and is part of the pi system, along with one electron in the p orbital on each of the other four carbon atoms for a total of six pi electrons.

Answer to Question 5

The oxygen is sp2 hybridized. One lone pair is in a p orbital and is part of the pi system, along with one electron in the p orbital on each of the four carbon atoms. The other lone pair of the oxygen is in an sp2 orbital, which is in the plane of the ring and not involved in the pi system.

Answer to Question 6

An aromatic molecule has an uninterrupted cycle of overlapping p orbitals (i.e., the cyclic structure should be planar) that contains 2n+2 (i.e., 2, 6, 8, ...) electrons

Fatal fungal infections may be able to resist newer antifungal drugs. Globally, fungal infections are often fatal due to the lack of access to multiple antifungals, which may be required to be utilized in combination. Single antifungals may not be enough to stop a fungal infection from causing the death of a patient.

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage. This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.

Though methadone is often used to treat dependency on other opioids, the drug itself can be abused. Crushing or snorting methadone can achieve the opiate "rush" desired by addicts. Improper use such as these can lead to a dangerous dependency on methadone. This drug now accounts for nearly one-third of opioid-related deaths.
