The bond order of a molecule is given by
The difference between the number of electrons in bonding and antibonding orbitals
Total number of electrons in bonding and antibonding orbitals
Twice the difference between the number of electrons in bonding and antibonding electrons
Half the difference between the number of electrons in bonding and antibonding electrons
Given below are two statements:
Statement $(I)$ : A $\pi$ bonding $MO$has lower electron density above and below the inter-nuclear asix.
Statement $(II)$ : The $\pi^*$ antibonding $MO$ has a node between the nucles.In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
