Answer 1

Chlorhexidine

Step-by-step explanation:

Chlorhexidine is a guanide compound containing the two chlorine molecules attached to the two phenolic rings (two 4-chlorophenyl rings) and two biguanide group.

The chlorhexidine is used as an antiseptic (antibacterial) as the positive charge of molecule interacts with the negatively charged batteries membrane and disrupts the structure of bacteria.

This molecule then enters the cell and cause intracellular leakage and leads to the death of the cell.
