Bond order is a concept in the molecular orbital theory. It depends on the number of electrons in the bonding and antibonding orbitals. Which of the following statements is true about it ? The bond order
Can assume any positive or integral or fractional value including zero
Has always an integral value
Can have a negative quantity
Is a non zero quantity
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.
Which of the following species contain only $\pi \,-\,$ bond but exhibit paramagnetic nature ?
