Question

access important values if needed for this question. In molecular orbital theory, the bond order is defined as: Bond Order Use the molecular orbital energy diagram below to answer the questions about bond order for the negative io N2 Number of Number of Bonding electrons Antibonding electrons N2 Bond Order This corresponds to A. Single bond E. Between a single and double bond B. Double bond F. Between a double and a triple bond C. Triple bond G. No bond, N2 does not fom D. Half of a bond nitrogen MO's nitrogens 2p 2p Next

Explanation / Answer

N2^- = 15e-

b.o. = 1/2 [6-1] = 2.5

so the ans is option F
...........................................

He2 = 4
B.O. = 1/2 [2-2] = 0
so the ans is option G
...........................................

Ne2 = 16e-
B.O. = 1/2[6-6] =0

so the ans is option G
