Bond Order Formula

Answer: The more the bond order, the smaller the bond length. They both are inversely related.

Answer: 

Molecular orbital diagram of nitrogen molecule:

Given molecule  – Nitrogen

Element – Nitrogen

Atomic number of nitrogen – 7

Electronic configuration – 1s²2s²2p³

Total number of electrons in nitrogen molecule – 14

Molecular orbital diagram of N₂ is as follows;

Electronic configuration: 1s² < *1s² < 2s² < *2s²  , [ 2px²  = 2py²] < 2pz²  < [*2px =*2py] < *2pz  

Let’s calculate the bond order of N₂;

Bond order = Bonding electrons – Anti bonding electrons / 2

= 10 – 4 / 2  = 3

Therefore, the order of N₂ is 3.

Answer: The bond length is proportional to the atom’s size, and the bond dissociation energy, or bond strength, is proportional to the atom’s size.

The bond dissociation energy of a bond increases as the bond multiplicity increases.

The repulsion between linked atoms grows as the number of lone pairs of electrons increases, and the bond dissociation energy decreases.

Note:

Bond strength is the strength with which a chemical bond keeps two atoms together. This is commonly described in terms of how much energy is necessary to break the connection in the first place. Its unit is kilocalories per mole.

The energy required to produce free radicals from the atoms that formed that particular bond was provided by bond dissociation energy.
