Nitrofurantoin (Macrodantin, Furadantin, Macrobid) is a drug available in three forms prescribed for the treatment or prevention of urinary tract infections (UTIs). Side effects, warnings and precautions, drug interactions, and patient information should be reviewed prior to taking any medication.
In this group the mineral is held together by the attraction between silica tetrahedra and other positive ions. Olivine and Garnet are examples of minerals within the independent tetrahedra group. Single chain silicates contain silica tetrahedra that are linked up in a chain by sharing two oxygen atoms. The most common single chain silicate is pyroxene. Double chain silicates form by sharing either two or three oxygen.
Normally, when a tetrahedral atom has four different substituents it is chiral. However, in rare cases, if two of the ligands differ from each other by being mirror images of each other, the mirror image of the molecule is identical to the original, and the molecule is achiral.hirality is important in context of ordered phases as well, for example the addition of a small amount of an optically active molecule to a nematic phase (a phase that has long range orientational order of molecules) transforms that phase to a chiral nematic phase (or cholesteric phase).
