magine that you need to take a medicine that the doctor has prescribed for you. Explain why scientists who developed that medicine would need to know whether or not the compound in that medicine is polar. How might a polar medicine behave differently as it dissolved in the body than a nonpolar medicine would?

hi

Explanation:

The compound in medicines should be non polar. Therefore scientists need to be sure of using compounds that are non polar in nature so they pass through the cell membrane and enter into the blood circulation of the body and perform its due function.

b..

is the correct one

explanation:

covalent bonds form as valence electrons are shared between two atoms. lewis structures and structural formulas are common ways of showing the covalent bonding in organic molecules. formal charge describes the changes in the number of valence electrons as an atom becomes bonded into a molecule.

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!

if you need further assistance, let me know: )
