Explanation:
The electron was discovered by J.J Thompson. His model of the atom was called the plum-pudding model of the atom.
He discovered that cathode rays being negatively charged particles were deflected by a magnet in just the same way as moving, negative electrically charged particles.
Similarly, in an electric field, they are deflected towards the positive plate of the electrostatic field which shows that they are negatively charged.
The values of x represents that number of moles of water molecules that is present per mole of the salt magnesium sulfate. To determine the value for this, we need to know how much is the water that is lost after heating the sample assuming that all of the water molecules are evaporated leaving only the unhydrated form of the salt. We calculate as follows:
Mass of hydrated salt = 3.484 g
Mass after heating = 1.701 g
Mass lost = 3.484 g - 1.701 g = 1.783 g
The mass lost is equal to the mass of water lost.
Moles water lost = 1.783 g ( 1 mol / 18.02 g ) = 0.0989 mol H2O
Moles of unhydrated salt = 1.701 g ( 1 mol / 120.37 g ) = 0.0141 mol MgSO4
moles water / moles MgSO4 = 0.0989 mol H2O / 0.0141 mol MgSO4 = 7
Therefore, the value of x is 7.
Chemical properties are all those properties that are shown when the chemical is a part of a reaction or is changed in any way. Unlike physical properties, they affect the composition of the chemical and the way it behaves, while physical does not change the chemical itself. Such properties are toxicity, flammability, reaction with other elements, stability, and many more.

Explanation:
The drug thalidomide with molecular formula C13H10N2O4 was widely prescribed by doctors for morning sickness in pregnant women in the 1960s.
The drug was sold as a racemic mixture (+)(R)-thalidomide and (-)(S)-thalidomide.
Unfortunately, only the (+)(R)-thalidomide exhibited the required effect while (-)(S)-thalidomide is a teratogen.
This goes a long way to underscore the importance of separation of enantiomers in drug production.
Therefore, all the teratogenic effects observed when using the drug thalidomide was actually as a result of the presence of (-)(S)-thalidomide, the unwanted enantiomer.
