Assertion(A) - Fluorine molecule has bond order one.
Reason(R)-The number of electrons in antibonding molecular orbital is two less than that of bonding molecular orbitals.

In the following question, an Assertion (A) is followed by a corresponding Reason (R). Use the following keys to choose the appropriate answer. Assertion : Fluorine molecule has bond order one. Reason : The number of electrons in the antibonding molecular orbitals is two less than that in bonding molecular orbitals.

Why are bonding molecular orbitals more stable than anti bonding molecular orbitals?

Assertion: The bond order of helium molecule is always zero. Reason: The number of electrons in bonding molecular orbital and antibonding molecular orbital is equal.

Give two difference between bonding molecular orbital and antibonding molecular orbital.

Bond order of a species is 2.5 and the number of electons in its bonding molecular orbital is found to be 8 The no. of electons in its antibonding molecular orbital is

According to molecular orbital theory molecules are said to be stable if the number of electrons in bonding molecular orbitals is …………… the number of electrons in antibonding molecular orbitals.
