Answer» Answer: STABILITY DEPEND on bond ORDER Explanation: according to MOT (MOLECULAR orbital Theory) electronic configuration is given in attachment Calculate bond order by following formula Bond Order = NB—Na/2 where Nb is number of bonding electrons and Na is number of antibonding electrons more is the bond order higher is the stability (if bond order increases bond enthalpy increases and bond length decreases)

Answer:

STABILITY DEPEND on bond ORDER

Explanation:

according to MOT (MOLECULAR orbital Theory) electronic configuration is given in attachment

Calculate bond order by following formula

Bond Order = NB—Na/2

where Nb is number of bonding electrons and

Na is number of antibonding electrons

more is the bond order higher is the stability

(if bond order increases bond enthalpy increases and bond length decreases)
