Question

Bond Order In molecular orbital theory, the bond order is defined as: 1/2 (bonding electrons -antibonding electrons) Use the molecular orbital energy diagram below to answer the questions about bond order for the molecule Nz ofbital energy diagram below to answer the questions about bond order for the molecule N Number of Bonding electronsAntibonding electrons Number of N, Bond Order This comesponds to A. Single bond B. Double bond C. Triple bond D. Halfofa bond K·Iktuxx:n a single and double bon d F. Between a double and a triple bond G.No bond. N2 does not form

Explanation / Answer

Number of bonding electrons =8

Number of antibonding electrons =2

N2 Bond order = 3

This corresponds to = Triple bond
