Question

Two π bonds and half σ bonds are present in:

Answer 1

\(N_2^+\)

Bond order

• The number of covalent bonds shared by two atoms is known as bond order.
• Bond order indicates the stability of a bond.
• The formula to calculate bond order is as follows:

• BO is the bond order.
• N_b is the number of electrons present in the bonding orbital.
• N_a is the number of electrons present in the antibonding orbital.

Answer 2

In a molecule of O2, there are two sigma bonds and two pi bonds. The two oxygen atoms share two pairs of electrons in two sigma bonds, and two more pairs of electrons in two pi bonds.
