Use the provided molecular orbital diagram to calculate the bond order and the number of unpaired electrons for the molecular ion N2+.
(a) 0 unpaired electrons, bond order = 3
(b) 1 unpaired electron, bond order = 2
(c) 2 unpaired electrons, bond order = 1.5
(d) 1 unpaired electron, bond order = 2.5
(e) 3 unpaired electrons, bond order = 2.
Answer: 1 unpaired electron, bond order = 2.5
