Explanation:
Two events involving electrons are gain and loss of electrons.
When there is gain or loss of electrons between two atoms then it results in the formation of ionic bond.
Whereas when there is sharing of electrons between two atoms then it results in the formation of covalent bond.
Therefore, the chemical bonds formed can be ionic or covalent bonds.
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
