Question

What is the bond order of NH3

Answer 1

Bond Order of $NH_3$ is 3.

Explanation:

• The chemical term of $NH_3$ is Ammonia. Its weight is 17 grams.

• In this molecule, the central atom is Nitrogen to which the other 3 Hydrogen atoms of this molecule are attached by the 3 single bonds thereby forming a stable octet configuration among every atom.

• We can calculate its bond order by dividing the difference between bonding electrons and anti-bonding electrons of a molecule by 2.

• Here in $NH_3,$ there are 8 bonding electrons and 2 antibonding electrons.

• So the bond order will be equal to 3.

       $\text { Bond order }=\frac{\text { Number of bonding electron - Number of Antibondingelectron}}{2}$

       $=\frac{8-2}{2}$ = 3
