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

Assertion: Atomic mass of aluminium is 27 Reason: An atom of aluminium is 27 times heavier than 1 / 12th of the mass of the C –

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

i is the correct answer.

Explanation:

the RAM of aluminum is indeed 27. And since the RAM of substances are measured in terms of the C-12 isotope then R indeed explains why the RAM Al is 27.

Phosphoric acid, which is commonly used as rust inhibitor, food additive and etching agent for dental and orthopedic use, can be

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

$P_4_{(I)}+5O_2_{(g)}+6H_2O_{(l)}\rightarrow +4H_3PO_4_{(l)}$

Explanation:

The first step is:

$P_4_{(I)}+5O_2_{(g)}\rightarrow 2P_2O_5_{(g)}$

Second step is:

$P_2O_5_{(g)}+3H_2O_{(l)}\rightarrow 2H_3PO_4_{(l)}$

Multiplying second step by 2, and adding both the steps, we get that:

$P_4_{(I)}+5O_2_{(g)}+2P_2O_5_{(g)}+6H_2O_{(l)}\rightarrow 2P_2O_5_{(g)}+4H_3PO_4_{(l)}$

Cancelling common species, we get that:

$P_4_{(l)}+5O_2_{(g)}+6H_2O_{(l)}\rightarrow +4H_3PO_4_{(l)}$

What does the subscript 2 indicate in the formula o2?

Tpy6a [65]

The subscript 2 in the formula o2 indicates that there are 2 atoms of the element oxygen, represented by the symbol "O." The subscript to the right of the symbol tells how many atoms are present of that element.

When testing to see how water affects plant growth, John make sure one set of his plants does not get water. This set of plants

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

control.

Explanation:

during an experiment you are required to maintain a separate group of subjects to collect data on so you will be able to make comparisons from your observations. assuming the watered plants grew, what does that mean? they grew at a quicker rate? slower rate? the same rate? compared to what? you need this control group in order to prove your observations either one way or the other such as "compared to unwatered plants, the watered plants grew at *blank* rate."
