AX is a covalent diatomic molecule where A and X are second row elements of periodic table. Based on Molecular orbital theory, the bond order of AX is 2.5. The total number of electrons in AX is __________. (Round off to the Nearest Integer).

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

The compound AX is NO its bond order is 2.5 and it has total 15 electrons.

Note : Total number of electrons equal to 13 will also have the 2.5 bond order. But in this case neutral diatomic molecule will not be possible.
