Answer:

<h2>D) 6</h2>

Explanation:

since,   n = molar mass / empirical formula mass

   Empirical formula mass = Total mass of atoms present in empirical formula

                       CHCl = 12+1+35.5

                                = 48.5

 Given, Molar mass = 290.8 g.

           So,        n = 290.8/48.5

                           = 5.995 , that is approx  6.

        So, Molecular formula = n × Empirical formula

                                           = 6 × CHCl

                                           = C_{6}H_{6}Cl_{6}

       So,   Number of C = 6

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.
