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

Question

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 (A) It both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion (B) If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion (C) If Assertion is true but the Reason is false (D) If both Assertion and Reason is false

Bond order is the half of the difference between bonding and anti-bonding electrons. i.e. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/chemistry/d6b79aecd77c5f63ab012b55da5a69fc-.png" /> Greater the order, greater is the stability in the molecule.

It both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion

If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion

If Assertion is true but the Reason is false

If both Assertion and Reason is false

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

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