Bond order is a concept in the molecular orbital theory. It depends on the number of electrons in the bonding and antibonding orbitals. Which of the following statements is true about it ? The bond order
Can have a negative quantity
Has always an integral value,
Can assume any positive or integral or fractional value including zero
Is a non zero quantity
Bond Order can assume any positive or integral or fractional value including zero.
