Every compound can be represented by a chemical formula. A chemical formula is the set of symbols showing the elements that make up a compound and their proportions. Water’s chemical formula is H_2 2 O. That means a molecule of water contains two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen chemically bonded. A molecule is a group of two or more atoms bonded together. Molecules can range in size from two to thousands of atoms. A molecule of a compound is the smallest unit of that compound. Every molecule of water has all the physical and chemical properties of water. That’s because every molecule of water is made of the same elements in the same proportions: two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen! Which of the following is a true statement? A
Every molecule of the same compound will have different properties.

B
Every molecule of a compound has the same proportion of elements.

C
Molecules can be physically separated into smaller units of a compound.

D
Molecules cannot be represented by chemical formulae.

Ms. w, a 21-year-old woman, came into a clinic after suffering a deep laceration on her foot while walking barefoot around her yard. the wound was cleaned, sutured, and bandaged, and she was released to return home after receiving tetanus antitoxoid. within 72 hours, the wound area was red and swollen, the suture line was dark in color, and it was accompanied by severe throbbing pain. ms. w had a high fever, her heart felt like it was racing, and she was finding it hard to concentraten even on simple tasks. she returned to the clinic and was immediately taken to the hospital. following lab tests, a diagnosis of acute necrotizing fasciitis was made. discussion questions 1. explain why ms. w. received a tetanus antitoxoid before leaving the hospital. (see chapters 3 and 4, infection and passive immunity.) 2. explain how acute necrotizing fasciitis developed in this case and the pathophysiology involved. (see acute necrotizing fasciitis.) 3. what is the potential outcome for ms. w if antibiotic drugs do not reduce the infection quickly?
