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

There is two different types but i’ll just do both meanings just incase.

Graham's Law of Diffusion: the rate of diffusion of one gas through another is inversely proportional to the square root of the density of the gas.

Graham's Law of Effusion: the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the density of the gas.
