Transcribed Image Text:**Question 16 of 22**
**Which of the following molecules has a bond order of 1.5 according to molecular orbital theory?**
Options:
- **A) B₂⁻ (selected)**
- **B) N₂⁻**
- **C) CN⁻**
- **D) NO⁺**
This question tests the understanding of molecular orbital theory, specifically relating to bond order. Bond order is a concept that determines the strength and stability of a bond based on the number of bonding and antibonding electrons present in molecular orbitals.
In this question, you need to calculate the bond order for each given molecule or ion and identify which has a bond order of 1.5.
