a diatomic element has six bonding electrons, six non-bonding electrons, and 2 anti-bonding electrons. the bond order is the pairing of two atoms with those atoms.
This is an atomic-level phenomenon in which elements share electrons to fill their valence shells.
You can also combine two or more substances into a compound.
According to molecular orbital theory, the bond order is half the difference between the bonding and antibonding electrons.
Mathematically, bond order = 0.5 (number of bond electrons – number of antibond electrons)
element bond electrons = 6
element antibonding electrons = 2
difference = bond electron - antibond electron
= 6 - 2
= 4
bond order = (0.5)*(difference)
bond order = (0.5)*(4)
bond order = 2
The bonding order of diatomic elements is 2, with 6 bonding electrons, 6 non-bonding electrons, and 2 anti-bonding electrons.
