A simplified applified of `MO` theory to the hypotheritical molecule `OF` would gives its bond order as:

Options

A. 2
B. 1.5
C. `1.0`
D. `0.5`

Answer

B

Explanation

`OF` is derivavtive of `O_(2)` and isoelectronic with `O_(2)^(-)`
So `(sigma 1*s)^(2) (sigma 2s)^(2) (sigma*2s)^(2) (sigma 2p_(z)^(2) = pi 2p_(y)^(2)) (pi*2p_(s)^(2) = pi *2p_(y)^(1))`
The bond order of `1//2 (10-7) = 1.5`
