If the bond order of species is zero, then species will not exist. Bond order
=2bonding molecular orbital electrons− antibonding molecular orbital electrons
H2+−σls1∴ Bond order =21−0=0.5He22+−σs2∴ Bond order =22−0=1Li22−−σ1s2,σ∗1s2,σ2s2,σ∗2s2∴ Bond order =24−4=0 (do not exist )Ne2:σls2,σ∗1s2,σ2s2,σ∗2s2,σ2pz2,π2px2≈2py2,π∗2px2≈π∗2py2,σ∗2pz2∴ Bond order =210−10=0 (do not exist) Be2−−σ1s2,σ∗1s2,σ2s2,σ∗2s2,π2px1≈π2py0∴ Bond order =25−4=0.5He2−σls2,σ∗ls2∴ Bond order =22−2=0( do not exist ) Hence, Li22−,Ne2 and He2 will not exist.
