Detergents are a type of organic molecule that you likely use nearly every day when you're cleaning dishes or doing laundry. There are many different types of detergents, but what they all have in common is having a long, non-polar "tail" and a polar "head". For example: OH OH OH (CH2) 16 CH3 Circle and label the polar and non-polar regions in the example molecule. Why is this type of structure necessary for detergents to be able to perform their function?

Draw the structure of halothane, CF,CHCIBR, in three dimensions, using solid lines, wedges, and dashes to illustrate the position of atoms. Halothane is a safe and widely used general anesthetic.
Part A 13D Explain the term "functional group." How do organic chemists use the functional group concept? A functional group is a group of atoms within a larger molecule that gives the molecule specific physical properties. Organic chemists use functional groups as an organizational tool in classifying, naming, and calculation of the mass of organic molecules. A functional group is an atom within a larger molecule that gives the molecule specific physical and chemical properties. Organic chemists use functional groups as an organizational tool only in classifying and naming of organic molecules. A functional group is a group of atoms within a larger molecule that gives the molecule specific chemical properties. Organic chemists use functional groups as an organizational tool in predicting the properties of organic molecules. A functional group is a group of atoms within a larger molecule that gives the molecule specific physical and chemical properties. Organic chemists use functional…

Drinking water can help prevent urinary stones in animals. Likewise, water soluble substances can serve a similar function. Based on this information, explain why one of the uses of ammonium chloride is to prevent urinary stones in goats, cattle, and sheep. In formulating your answer, include the following information below: Is ammonium chloride polar or non-polar? How did you determine that? explain why it makes sense to use ammonium chloride for the prevention of urinary stones in goats, cattle, and sheep. (hint!: Is ammonium chloride able to dissolve in the water? Why? How do you know?)
