Q.

Bond order normally gives idea of stability of a molecular species. All the molecules viz.  H2,Li2 and B2have the same bond order yet they are not equally stable. Their stability order is

Detailed Solution

None of the given option is correct. The molecular orbital configuration of the given  molecules is 
H2=σ1s2 (no electron anti-bonding)  Li2=σ1s2σ1s2σ2s2 (two anti-bonding electrons)  B2=σ1s2σ1s2σ2s2σ2s2π2py1=π2pz1  (4 anti-bonding electrons) 
Though the bond order of all the species are same (B.O =1) but stability is different. This is due to difference in the presence of no. of anti-bonding electron. Higher the no. of anti-bonding electron lower is the stability hence the correct order is H2>Li2>B2
