Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\[ \begin{aligned} & \text { } \mathrm{N}_2(14)=1 s^2,{ }^* 1 s^2, \sigma 2 s^2,{ }^* \cdot 2 s^2, \pi 2 p_x^2 \approx 2 p_y^2, \sigma 2 p_z^2 \\ & \text { Bond order }=\frac{N_b-N_a}{2}=\frac{10-4}{2}=3 \end{aligned} \]
