True
What are the 4 potential elements for halogenation?
F, Cl, Br, Iodine
The heavier the AMU, the (more/less?) potent the compound?
more potent
Continuum of adding F atoms to an ether…
more potent–>convulsant–>inert
Metabolism values (sevo, iso, des)

PA–>PV
Determinants of alveolar concentration (3) or (4)
PI, alveolar ventilation, characteristics of breathing system
