Bond Order

Image
The bond order is a measure of the number of electron pairs used in bonding. It is related to the number of electrons in bonding orbitals ( N b ) and the number in anti-bonding  orbitals ( N a ) by the equation      OR It is number of bonds formed between two atoms in a covalent compound.                         Bond Order       Where, N b is number of electrons present in Bonding Molecular orbitals (BMO) and   N a is number of electrons present in Anti- Bonding Molecular orbitals (ABMO).   In bond order calculations we have to consider the molecular orbital configuration of the molecule which is represented as Bonding Molecular orbitals (BMO) and Anti- Bonding Molecular orbitals (ABMO) . The sequence of molecular orbitals is available in two categories,   Category 1:- From H 2 to N 2 : the sequence of filling electron in molecular orbi...
