The highest energy occupied molecular orbital in the C-C bond of the C₂ molecule is 2pπ orbitals.

<h3>What is Molecular Orbital Theory?</h3>

According to this theory,

Molecular orbitals are formed by intermixing of atomic orbitals of two or more atoms having comparable energies
The number of molecular orbitals formed is equal to the number of atomic orbitals combined.
The shape of molecular orbitals formed depends on the type of atomic orbitals combined
Only atomic orbitals having comparable energies and the same orientation can intermix
Bonding M.O. is formed by the additive effect of atomic orbitals and thus, has lower energy and high stability.
Antibonding M.O. is formed by the subtractive effect of atomic orbitals and thus, has higher energy and low stability.
Bonding M.O. is represented by $\sigma, \pi, \delta$ while Antibonding M.O. is represented by $\sigma^*, \pi^*, \delta^*\\$

Given the balanced equation below, calculate the moles of aluminum that are needed to react completely with 28.7 moles of FeO. Y

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

43.05 moles of Al needed to react with 28.7 moles of FeO.

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles of FeO = 28.7 mol

Moles of Al needed to react with FeO = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Al + 3FeO → 3Fe + Al₂O₃

Now we will compare the moles of Al with FeO.

FeO : Al

2 : 3

28.7 : 3/2×28.7 = 43.05 mol

Thus 43.05 moles of Al needed to react with 28.7 moles of FeO.

Most oxygen in our atmosphere _____. has two oxygen atoms has three oxygen atoms combines with carbon has a single oxygen atom

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

has Two oxygen atoms

Explanation:

Oxygen is a diatomic element hence exists as O2 for majority of its existence in our atmosphere. Although small portion does exist in form of O3 which protects earth from sun's harmful ray, the majority portion of oxygen has O2 which is the oxygen we breathe.

A gas expands from a volume of 2.00L at 36.0oC to a volume of 2.50 L, what is the final temperature, if the pressure is constant

lakkis [162]

We shall consider V, the volume and T, the temperature.
According to Boyle's Laws:
$\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2}$
In our case:
$\frac{2.00}{36.0} = \frac{2.50}{T2} =\ \textgreater \ T2= \frac{2.50*36.00}{2.00} = 45$
