Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To explain why a molecule of \( H_2 \) exists while that of \( He_2 \) does not, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understanding Bond Order Bond order is a measure of the stability of a bond between two atoms. It is calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Bond Order} = \frac{(\text{Number of electrons in bonding orbitals}) - (\text{Number of electrons in anti-bonding orbitals})}{2} \] ...
