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 $\sigma^*, \pi^*, \delta^*\\$

liq [111]

Answer:

Explanation:

Homogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the components of the mixture are in the same proportion throughout any sample extracted from the mixture while an heterogeneous mixture is a mixture in which the components of the mixture differ in term of proportion when different samples of the mixture are extracted and compared.

For example, a sandy water will have some parts (usually the bottom) of the mixture with more sand than other parts of the mixture, hence, it (sandy water) is a heterogeneous mixture. While salty and ocean water has it's salt dissolved in the same proportion throughout the water in the mixture, hence salty and/or ocean water is a homogeneous mixture.

Sandy water can be separated by filtration (i.e using a filter paper to separate the sand from the water when the mixture is poured over a filter paper) while salty and ocean water can be separated by distillation (i.e boiling of the mixture so the water molecules can boil and move through a tube as gas or steam into another container where they are cooled and converted back to liquid or water while leaving the solid salt component of the mixture in the boiling tube).

Airida [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: % error = 0.4

Explanation:

Data

real value = 22.48%

estimated value = 22.57 %

Formula

% error = |real value - estimated value|/real value x 100

%error = |22.48 - 22.57|/22.48 x 100

% error = |-0.09|/22.48 x 100

%error = 0.09/22.48 x 100

% error = 0.004 x 100

% error = 0.4
