Trick to find bond order

Today , I am going to share a trick to find the bond order of any elements/molecules/ions whose number of electrons range from 10 to 18. BOND ORDER is defined as " TOTAL NUMBER OF ELECTRONS IN BONDING MO - TOTAL NUMBER OF ELECTRONS IN ANTI-BONDING MO /2".  For the application of this formula , one need to draw "MOLECULAR ORBITAL DIAGRAM". But this might take some time. Now , I am going to share you a trick to find " BOND ORDER ". The formula that I will use is    3- (0.5*n) Firstly , we need to find out the value of  'n' , then substitute the value of  'n'  in the formula. ' n' is nothing but "TOTAL NUMBER OF ELECTRONS PRESENT IN ANY GIVEN ELEMENT/ION/MOLECULE - 14" LET US TAKE SOME  EXAMPLES:) 1) FIND OUT THE BOND ORDER OF O2. FORMULA IS 3-(0.5*n) n = TOTAL NUMBER OF ELECTRONS PRESENT IN O2   -  14 n = 16 - 14 n=2 BY SUBSTITUTING THE VALUE OF n IN THE FORMULA, =3 - (0.5 * 2) =3 - 1 = 2 HENCE THE B...
