Answer 2

Answer:

The bond orders in BN, BO, and CO are 2, 5/2, and 3 respectively.

Explanation:

How do bond orders work?

The number of electron pairs that form bonds between two atoms is known as bond order. A single bond, a double bond, a triple bond, a quadruple bond, and so on have a bond order of one in a covalent bond between two atoms. Utilize molecular orbital theory and the total number of electrons in the compound to determine the bond order. If the bond order is zero, there are no bonds and therefore no compounds. Compounds become more stable as the bond order rises.

Bond Order = (Number of Bonding electrons – Number of Antibonding electrons) / 2

Now that we are aware of how to calculate bond order, we should understand the importance of doing so.

Thus, the new molecule should be more stable given its higher bond orders.
