Detailed Solution

The molecular orbital electronic configuration of H2 molecule is σ1s2.

The total number of bonding electrons in H2 is two

The total number of anti bonding electrons in H2 is zero because there are no electrons in anti bonding σ* molecular orbitals.

The molecular orbital electronic configuration of Li2 molecule is σ1s2,σ*1s2,σ2s2

Bond order of Li2 molecules=12(Nb-Na)

=4-22=22=1

The molecular orbital electronic configuration Ne2 molecule is

So, total number of electrons present in Ne2 molecule is 20.
