Question:

For each pair of molecules, generate the relevant MO diagram and predict which of the two
will have the highest bond order. (Be sure to include all valence
orbitals, and show the relative positions of the orbitals for each constituent atom.)
a) HF vs HF^-
b) NP vs NP⁺
c) CS vs CS⁺

Expert Solution

Step 1

For the bond order in molecular orbital diagram we use the following rule ;

Bond order is half of the difference of the electrons in bonding molecular orbital and the electrons in anti bonding molecular orbital.
