Q. Assertion: Bond order in a molecule, which can assume any value positive or negative, integral or fractional including zero.
Reason: Bond order depends on the number of electrons in the bonding and antibonding orbitals

AIIMSAIIMS 1998

Solution:

Bond order is the half of the difference between bonding and anti-bonding electrons. i.e. image

Greater the order, greater is the stability in the molecule.
