Interpretation: The magnetic properties and the bond order of
Concept introduction:
The combination of two atomic orbitals leads to the formation of a bonding and an antibonding molecular orbital. Orbitals that lie on internuclear axis combine to form sigma
The molecular orbital formed by the combination of
Bond order is determined by subtracting the number of antibonding electrons from the number of bonding electrons and then dividing the obtained number by two.
Bond order is calculated as follows:
