Atomic Number of Lithium is 3, so it has 3 electrons in its neutral state. Also, Li₂ will have 6 electrons. But the chemical formula we are given has a negative charge on it (i.e Li₂⁻) so there is an additional electron (RED) present on this compound. So, the total number of electrons are 7. The
MOT diagram for this compound is shown below. According to diagram we are having 4 electrons in Bonding Molecular Orbitals (
BMO) and 3 electrons in Anti-Bonding Molecular Orbitals (
ABMO). Bond Order is calculated as,
Bond Order = (# of e⁻s in BMO - # of e⁻s in ABMO) ÷ 2
Bond Order = (4 - 3) ÷ 2
Bond Order = 1 ÷ 2
Or,
Bond Order = 1/2Or,
Bond Order = 0.5
Answer:
Increasing the temperature increases reaction rates because of the disproportionately large increase in the number of high energy collisions. It is only these collisions (possessing at least the activation energy for the reaction) which result in a reaction.

Answer:
b. Disulfide bond
Explanation:
Covalent linkage or bonding is a type of bond in which electrons are shared between atoms in a compound or molecule. Each atom contributes to the shared electron.
This is the case of disulfide bonding i.e. S-S, in which two thiol groups (-SH) share electrons with one another. The process of oxidation between two cysteine (amino acid) molecules forms this bond. Hence, Disulfide bond is characterized by a covalent linkage.
