1.1. Define organometallic compounds. 1.2. Why are the heavy metals tin (Sn), lead (Pb) and mercury (Hg) as well as their organometallic forms considered dangerous pollutants? 1.3. Discuss the term biomagnification with regards to methyl mercury (MMHg) 1.4. Discuss, with the aid of a diagram, the biogeochemical cycle of mercury; Hg(0) 1.5. With regards to the formation of methylmercury, why is the Hg-C bond unusual in organic chemistry?
