Designing safer chemicals means retaining the desired function while reducing

  • A.the cost of the raw material
  • B.the number of synthetic steps required
  • C.the toxicity of the molecule
  • D.the molecular mass of the molecule

Answer: C

Efficacy and toxicity are separable properties, so a molecule can often be modified to keep the first and lose the second. It requires the structural basis of the toxicity to be understood, which is not always the case.
