First thing is you have to find the half life of the substance. The half life equation is
Final Mass = Initial Mass * 0.5^(time/time per half life)
Now we substitute the values given and we get
60 mg = 120 * 0.5^(14/t)
Solve for t and you get
t = 14 hours
Now plug 19 into the equation
Final Mass = 120 * 0.5^(19/14)
Final Mass = 46.84 mg

lara [203]

Answer:

bonding molecular orbital is lower in energy

antibonding molecular orbital is higher in energy

Explanation:

Electrons in bonding molecular orbitals help to hold the positively charged nuclei together, and they are always lower in energy than the original atomic orbitals.

Electrons in antibonding molecular orbitals are primarily located outside the internuclear region, leading to increased repulsions between the positively charged nuclei. They are always higher in energy than the parent atomic orbitals.
