What is meant by the term bond order ? Explain ?
The stability of the molecule can be restated in terms of bond order.
A positive bond order (i.e. $\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{b}}>\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{a}}$ ) means a stable molecule.
A negative bond order (i.e. $\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{b}}<\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{a}}$ ) means on unstable molecule.
A zero bond order (i.e. $\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{b}}=\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{a}}$ ) means bond not possible.
Which of the following species contain only $\pi \,-\,$ bond but exhibit paramagnetic nature ?
For diatomic molecules, the correct statement($s$) about the molecular orbitals formed by the overlap to two $2 p_z$ orbitals is(are)
$(A)$ $\sigma$ orbital has a total of two nodal planes.
$(B)$ $\sigma^*$ orbital has one node in the $x z$-plane containing the molecular axis.
$(C)$ $\pi$ orbital has one node in the plane which is perpendicular to the molecular axis and goes through the center of the molecule.
$(D)$ $\pi^*$ orbital has one node in the $x y$-plane containing the molecular axis.
Which of the following does not exist on the basis of molecular orbital theory
