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

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

When blood is exposed to air, it clots. Heparin allows the blood to come in direct contact with air without clotting.

All patients with hyperparathyroidism will develop osteoporosis. The parathyroid glands maintain blood calcium within the normal range. All patients with this disease will continue to lose calcium from their bones every day, and there is no way to prevent the development of osteoporosis as a result.
