Tetraethyl lead is a highly toxic compound used as a gasoline additive.

Tetraethyl lead abbreviated as TEL, is an organo lead compound with the formula (CH₃CH₂)₄Pb. It is a petro-fuel additive which in turn caused increased vehicle performance. This is also used as an antiknock agent in gasoline and jet fuels. Tetraethyl lead is absorbed rapidly by the skin, the lungs, and the gastrointestinal tract. It is converted to triethyl lead, which might be responsible for its toxicity.

Electronegativity refers to the ability of an atom to attract shared electrons in a covalent bond. The higher the value of the electronegativity, the more strongly that element attracts the shared electrons.

Electronegativity increases from bottom to top in groups, and increases from left to right across periods. Thus, fluorine is the most electronegative element and lithium is the least.

It takes 248 yrs for Pluto to orbit the Sun.

Let the man's rate upstream be x kmph and that downstream be y kmph.

Then, distance covered upstream in 8 hrs 48 min = Distance covered downstream in 4 hrs.

		x x 8	4		= (y x 4)
			5

	44	x =4y
	5

y =	11	x.
	5

Required ratio =		y + x		:		y - x
		2				2

=		16x	x	1		:		6x	x	1
		5		2				5		2

   = 8 : 3.

6% of 350000

$$\begin{gathered} 6100 x 3,50,000 \\ = 6 x 3500 \\ = 21,000. \end{gathered}$$

Hence, 6% of 3,50,000 = 21,000.
