Question 1

Which transition metal is valued for its high electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion, and is widely used for plumbing?

◦ iron
◦ manganese
◦ magnesium
◦ cobalt
◦ copper

Question 2

Why do transition metals show a lot of chemical similarities within a given period?

◦ The valence s and p electrons affect their chemistry more so than the inner d and f electrons, which do not participate in bonding as easily.
◦ The number of electrons within a given period varies only slightly and is sometimes identical because these metals have more than one ionic form.
◦ All elements in a given period, including the representative elements, have a lot of chemical similarities due to the gradual increase in atomic number.
◦ The transition metals always fill their s and p orbitals first before filling their d orbitals, which affects their chemistry.
◦ None of these are correct.

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.
