Interpretation: The bond order and the magnetic properties 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,
molecular orbitals.
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 dividing the obtained number by two.
