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
while Antibonding M.O. is represented by

Answer:
E 1: cyclohexene
Explanation:
This reaction is an example of the dehydration of cyclic alcohols. The reaction proceeds in the following steps;
1) The first step of the process is the protonation of the cyclohexanol by the acid. This now yields H2O^+ attached to the cyclohexane ring.
2) the water molecule, which a good leaving group now leaves yielding a carbocation. This now leaves a cyclohexane carbocation which is highly reactive.
3) A water molecule now abstracts a proton from the carbon adjacent to the carbocation leading to the formation of cyclohexene and the regeneration of the acid catalyst. This is an E1 mechanism because it proceeds via a carbocation intermediate and not a concerted transition state, hence the answer.
Answer:
5
Explanation:
Firstly, we convert what we have to percentage compositions.
There are two parts in the molecule, the sulphate part and the water part.
The percentage compositions is as follows:
Sulphate- (103.74)/(103.74 + 58.55) × 100% = apprx 64%
The water part = 100 - 64 = 36%
Now, we divide the percentages by the molar masses.
For the CuSO4 molar mass is 64 + 32 + 4(16) = 160g/mol
For the H2O = 2(1) + 16 = 18g/mol
Now we divide the percentages by these masses
Sulphate = 64/160 = 0.4
Water = 36/18 = 2
The ratio is thus 0.4:2 = 1:5
Hence, there are 5 water molecules.
