    Study Notes

    Vacuum Tubes and Electrodes

    • A tetrode contains four electrodes: the cathode, anode, and two control grids.
    • Electrons in a vacuum tube are supplied by the cathode, which emits them when heated.

    Basic Electronic Components

    • Basic building blocks of all electronic circuits are resistors, capacitors, and inductors.

    Haloalkanes

    • In haloalkanes, the carbon atom bonded to the halogen atom exhibits sp³ hybridization.

    Antibiotics and Typhoid Fever

    • Chloramphenicol is the antibiotic containing chlorine that is effective for treating typhoid fever.

    Thyroxine Deficiency

    • A deficiency in the iodine-containing hormone thyroxine is linked to hypothyroidism, leading to metabolic issues.

    Organic Solvents

    • Non-polar solvents are commonly used for dissolving relatively non-polar compounds and serve as starting materials in organic synthesis.

    Haloarenes

    • In haloarenes, the carbon atom attached to the halogen undergoes sp² hybridization, indicating a planar structure.
