Ans: Option (iv)
(a) A molecule which has a zero bond order never exists and a molecule having a non-zero bond order either exists or is expected to exist.
(b) If the value of bond order is high then the bond strength will also be hi

The three fundamental laws of chemistry are - Law of Definite Proportions, Law of Conservation of Mass, and Law of Multiple Proportions.
The three types of chemical bonds are - ionic, metallic and covalent bonds. When the electrons transfer between the atoms, they form the Ionic bonds by producing charged ions that are attracted to each other. When atoms share electrons, covalent bonds are created. When metal atoms share a sea of del
