    1. It was exactly identical to penicillin

    2. It lacked any functional groups or heteroatoms.

    3. It possessed a molecular structure different from existing antibiotics.

    4. It was an inorganic metal complex.

  2. How is a "disconnection" best described?

    1. A physical explosion in a laboratory flask

    2. An imaginary breaking down of bonds on paper
