Differentiate these chemicals into different chemical classes to include organic and inorganic, and perform a review of the toxicological risk that they pose to you or your family. Be sure to address the following items for each chemical in your presentation:
- Predict the potential chemical and physical properties and how this chemical could react with other chemicals in your household.
- Describe how intermolecular forces can influence the physical properties of each chemical.
- For each chemical, determine if the chemical is in a gaseous form.
- Correlate the exposure to chemicals with toxicological applications (e.g., is it toxic when inhaled, does it absorb through the skin, etc.).
Your presentation should be a minimum of 12 slides, not counting the title slide and the reference slide. You should have a minimum of one reference, which can be your textbook.
