Mar 20, 2015 · Having done all this preparative work, we are now able to take a look at the actual bond whose bond order we want to determine. For each resonance structure: Count the …

Oct 30, 2015 · The "$2$" on the bottom of the equation is the number of resonance structure being considered. Thus, for benzene the bond order is $1.5$. Applying this same method to …

Jan 27, 2018 · It depends on your definition of bond order. If you are using the simple formula $$\text{Bond order} = \frac{\text{Number of bonding electrons} - \text{Number of antibonding …

Jun 27, 2016 · Paramagnetism is a consequence of having one or more un-paired electrons in the outer electronic configuration. e.g. O$_2$, and NO.

Mar 19, 2015 · However applying this equation to real cases results in incoherent percentages (negative values larger than 100). Checking the source of Pauling's equation (Pauling L. The …

Jul 9, 2015 · Isoelectronic molecules and ions have identical bond orders; for example, $\ce{F2}$ and $\ce{O2^{2-}}$ have bond order $1$. $\ce{N2}$, $\ce{CO}$ and $\ce{NO+}$ have bond …

May 22, 2014 · These are examples of fractional bond order. The real world consequences of fractional bond order is a higher barrier to rotation about the central "single" bond in these two …

Oct 8, 2014 · Basically, at least some states can be viewed as an $\ce{H3+}$ ion working as a nucleus in a bigger hydrogen-like atom. If said 'nucleus' catches the electron, the molecule …

Mar 7, 2018 · It is important to stress that it's three bonds of order $\mathrm{1 \tfrac{1}{3}}$, and not one bond of order $\mathrm{2}$ and two of order $\mathrm{1}$: the interaction between …

Jul 26, 2015 · The average bond order of 4/3 makes the molecule unstable. Based on the steps, the single bonds are made of $\ce{sp^3}$ of oxygen and $\ce{sp^2}$ of nitrogen, the bonds …
