    Which of the following has the highest bond order?

    A)  \[{{N}_{2}}\]                                    

    B)  \[{{O}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[H{{e}_{2}}\]                                  

    D)  \[{{H}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Molecular orbital configuration of \[{{N}_{2}}=14{{e}^{-}}=\sigma 1{{s}^{2}},\overset{*}{\mathop{\sigma }}\,1{{s}^{2}},\sigma 2{{s}^{2}},\overset{*}{\mathop{\sigma }}\,2{{s}^{2}}\],                 \[\sigma 2{{p}_{x}}^{2},\pi 2{{p}_{y}}^{2},\pi 2{{p}_{z}}^{2}\] Bond order \[=\frac{{{N}_{b}}-{{N}_{a}}}{2}=\frac{10-4}{2}=3\] Similarly for \[{{O}_{2}}\] molecule, bond order = 2 For         \[H{{e}_{2}}\] molecule, bond order = 0 For         \[{{H}_{2}}\] molecule bond order = 1 So, \[{{N}_{2}}\]has highest bond order.
