1.

The bond order of a molecule in the excited state can beA. positiveB. negativeC. zeroD. both (2) and (3)

Answer» Correct Answer - B
In the excited state, electrons are promoted to higher energy levels. Thus, `N_agtN_b` and bond order `(N_b-N_a)//2` becomes negative. It implies that the molecule is unstable.
