Answer 2

If Nₓ is the number of bonding orbitals of an atom and Nᵧ is  the number of antibonding orbitals, then the molecule/atom  will be stable if Nₓ = Nᵧ.

Explanation:

Bonding and antibonding orbitals

• It is combined the atomic orbitals where the molecular orbitals are formed.
• The antibonding orbitals has more energy than bonding orbitals.
• The electrons which present into the nuclei of 2 atoms placed in the bonding orbitals for maximum time. It is more stable due to lower energy.
• The electrons which present into the nuclei of 2 atoms outside the bonding orbitals for maximum time. It is less stable due to higher energy.
