o. Opioids are compounds derived from opium, which comes from the opium poppy. Although in reality, all poppies produce opoids, the drug “morphine" , codeine as well as other opioid pain killers are typically derived from opium. A quick way to find or identify these compounds is to look for a six-membered ring containing a nitrogen. Often, if you see a six-membered ring with a nitrogen, you have some sort of an opoid or a modified synthetic pain killer. With that said, morphine and codeine are typically not injected or given orally in pure form. Instead, their salts are used, such as morphine sulfate or codeine phosphate. Why are the salts used or administered instead of the pure substances (or non-salt forms)? (I am not interested in drug names, but to have you answer the why of this question.)

From what we know today, what do the two Kekulé structures for benzene really represent? August Kekulé was the first person to propose a viable structure for benzene in 1865. Structures that can be separated at low enough temperatures (near absolute zero). Structures that are in a state of rapid equilibrium. O Structures that are in resonance. Structures that are conjugated trienes (--C=C--C%3DC--C3C--).
