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  =  1/2
Or,
              Bond Order  =  0.5

A car at rest ends accelerates for 12 seconds. After this time the car is going 36 m/s. What was its acceleration?
Zigmanuir [339]

Acceleration is defined as velocity per unit time.

Acceleration=\frac{Velocity}{time}

a=\frac{dv}{dt}

Here, a=acceleartion,

v=velocity=36 m/s

t=time=12 s

a=\frac{dv}{dt}

a=\frac{36}{12}

a=3 ms⁻²

A car at rest ends accelerates for 12 seconds. After this time the car is going 36 m/s. So acceleration that is a=3 ms⁻².
