Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In which of the following compounds is the bond order equal to 1?
  • Step 1: Understand what bond order means. Bond order is a way to describe the number of bonds between two atoms.
  • Step 2: Recall that a bond order of 1 means there is a single bond between two atoms.
  • Step 3: Identify the compounds given in the question. We need to check each compound to see if it has a bond order of 1.
  • Step 4: Look at the compound H2. It consists of two hydrogen atoms bonded together.
  • Step 5: Determine the bond order for H2. Since there is one bond between the two hydrogen atoms, the bond order is 1.
  • Step 6: Conclude that H2 is the compound with a bond order equal to 1.
