Answer:

there are three equivalent bonding MOs of equal energy and one unique bonding MO.

Explanation:

Let us recall that according to the principles of the molecular orbital theory, when a compound is formed, the number of bonding molecular orbitals must be equal to the number of antibonding molecular orbitals.

Now methane is formed from one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms. There are four bonding molecular orbitals and four antibonding molecular orbitals.

Three out of the four bonding molecular orbitals are degenerate while one is unique.

In which of the three acid-base concepts can water be a product of an acid-base reaction? In which is it the only product?
Archy [21]

Salt and water is formed as product, when Arrhenius acid and Arrhenius base reacts and the reaction is known as neutralization reaction.

<h3>What is Arrhenius acid-base reaction?</h3>
  • The concept of acid and base based on the theory of ionization which was first proposed in 1884 by Svante Arrhenius
  • According to Arrhenius, on dissociation in water the hydrogen-containing compounds which give H+ ions or protons are the acids and  the hydroxide compounds which give OH− ions on dissociation in water are bases.
  • This theory is applicable only to compounds which are dissolved in aqueous solution.

A mothball, composed of naphthalene (c10h8), has a mass of 1.64 g . part a how many naphthalene molecules does it contain?
OLga [1]
The molar mass of Naphthalene is 128g/mol
Therefore; a mass of 1.64 g of Naphthalene contains'
   = 1.64g/128 g
    = 0.0128 moles
But, from the Avogadro's law 1 mole of a substance contains 6.022 × 10^23 particles
Therefore 1 mole of Naphthalene contains 6.022×10^23 molecules
Hence; 0.0128 moles × 6.022 ×10^23 molecules
          = 7.716 × 10^21 molecules
