Explanation

HF has the highest ionic character

because electronegativity difference between H and F is highest.

ionic character follows the order HF >HCl>HBr> HI.

As the electronegativity difference increases ionic character increases.

Explanation

Periscopes allow a submarine, when submerged at a relatively shallow depth, to search visually for nearby targets and threats on the surface of the water and in the air.

When not in use, a submarine's periscope retracts into the hull.

Explanation

Digoxin is contraindicated in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) 

It can worsen obstruction and lead to adverse outcomes

Explanation

 Haptoglobin levels are typically decreased because it binds to free hemoglobin released from damaged red blood cells, leading to its depletion in the blood. 

The function of haptoglobin:

Haptoglobin is a protein produced by the liver that primarily functions to bind free hemoglobin in the bloodstream, preventing its toxic effects. 

Explanation

Gamma-ray cameras can observe radiations from the radioisotopes that are concentrated in the organs.

In medical imaging, radioisotopes are often used in nuclear medicine to diagnose and treat various conditions.

These isotopes emit gamma rays as they decay, and the gamma-ray camera detects these rays to create images of the organs where the isotopes have accumulated.

Explanation

For non-Ohmic materials, the current-voltage (I-V) relationship does not follow Ohm's law, which states that current is directly proportional to voltage (resulting in a linear I-V graph).

In non-Ohmic materials, the relationship between current and voltage is non-linear, and the I-V graph is typically curved.

Examples of non-Ohmic materials include diodes and transistors, where the resistance changes with voltage or current.

Explanation

A competitive inhibitor binds to the active site of an enzyme, preventing the substrate from binding.

This type of inhibition is typically reversible, as the inhibitor competes with the substrate for the same binding site.

The inhibition can be overcome by increasing the concentration of the substrate.

Competitive inhibitors do not accelerate the reaction and are generally not irreversible.

Explanation

The substitution of a hydrogen atom (−H) by a nitro group (−NO2) on a benzene ring is called nitration.

Nitration is typically carried out using concentrated nitric acid (HNO3) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4).

The sulfuric acid acts as a catalyst and generates the nitronium ion (NO2+), the electrophile that reacts with the benzene ring.

The overall reaction can be represented as:

C6H6 + HNO 3 → C 6H5NO2 +H2O

Here, benzene (C6H6) is converted to nitrobenzene (C6H5NO2).

This is a key reaction in organic chemistry, especially in the synthesis of various aromatic compounds.
