The bond order of H₂ is?
The bond order of H₂ is?
Explanation
Bond order = ½ (Number of bonding electrons − Number of antibonding electrons)
For H₂:
- Bonding electrons = 2
- Antibonding electrons = 0
Bond order = ½ (2 − 0) = 1
Bond order = ½ (Number of bonding electrons − Number of antibonding electrons)
For H₂:
- Bonding electrons = 2
- Antibonding electrons = 0
Bond order = ½ (2 − 0) = 1
