Question
Define the following:
- Anionic detergents.
- Narrow spectrum antibiotics.
- Antacids.
✓
Answer
- Anionic detergents are sodium salts of sulphonated long chain alcohols or hydrocarbons / alkylbenzene sulphonate or detergents whose anionic part is involved in cleansing action.
- Narrow spectrum antibiotics-which are effective against either gram positive or gram negative bacteria.
- Chemical compounds which are used for the treatment of excess acid produced in the stomach.
