        Which of the following has the highest bond order?

    A)  \[{{N}_{3}}\]                                    

    B)  \[{{O}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[H{{e}_{2}}\]                                  

    D)  \[{{H}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Molecular orbital configuration of \[{{N}_{2}}=14{{e}^{-}}=\sigma 1{{s}^{2}},\overset{*}{\mathop{\sigma }}\,1{{s}^{2}},\sigma 2{{s}^{2}},\overset{*}{\mathop{\sigma }}\,2{{s}^{2}},\] \[\sigma 2p_{x}^{2},\pi 2p_{y}^{2},\pi 2p_{z}^{2}\] Bond order \[=\frac{{{N}_{b}}-{{N}_{a}}}{2}=\frac{10-4}{2}=3\] Similarly for\[{{O}_{2}}\]molecule, bond order = 2 For       \[H{{e}_{2}}\]molecule, bond order = 0 For       \[{{H}_{2}}\]molecule bond order = 1 So,          \[{{N}_{2}}\]has highest bond order.
