●As we know,every atom has tendency to achieve the configuration of its nearest inert gas.
●Hydrogen has only one electron in its 1s-orbital.so,a molecule of hydrogen is formed by the combination of two atoms of hydrogen with one electron each present in the 1s orbital. The positive value of bond order indicates that the molecules are diatomicare that's why H2 molecules is stable.
