Asked by ritamkumar | 22nd Aug, 2010, 05:26: AM
Expert Answer:
Each fluorine atom has 9 protons, 10 neutrons and 9 electrons
The molecular orbital diagram for a diatomic fluorine molecule, F2, is
-
It has 10 electrons in molecular orbitals and 8 electrons in antibonding M.O
-
Therefore F2 has a bond order of 1. Bond Order = 1/2(10 - 8) = 1
