Which is the stronger acid: H-F or H-I?
 
  A) H-F, because the electronegativity of fluorine is higher than that of iodine making the H-F bond more polar and more likely to release the hydrogen ion to solution.
  B) H-F, because acid strength for binary acids decreases down the group of the periodic table.
  C) H-I, because iodine releases the hydrogen in order to form (s) at room temperature.
  D) H-I, because the H-I bond is weaker and so it is easier to break to form hydrogen ions.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
