-H₂^-

Question

Match the bond order of the dihydrogen species with the appropriate species. -H₂^-

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The bond order is the average number of bonds between two atoms in a molecule. For the given species, count the total number of bonds between the atoms and divide by the total number of bonds possible. In this case, there are two bonds between the two H atoms and a total of four bonding sites. Therefore, the bond order is 2/4 = 0.5. The correct choice is B.
