Chapter 11, Problem 101SAE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The concept map should be constructed representing ideas of molecular orbitals theory.

Concept introduction:

Molecular orbital theory provides an explanation of chemical bonding that predicts the arrangement of elements in molecules and also creates bonding and anti-bonding interactions based on which orbitals are filled.

Bond order can be defined as the number of chemical bonds which are present between two atoms.The formula of bond order is given as-

$\text{Bond order=}\frac{\text{number of bonding electrons-number of antibonding electrons}}{\text{2}}$
