Which of the following options represents the correct bond order?
MEDIUM
In which of the following pairs of molecules/ions, both the species are not likely to exist?
EASY
After understanding the assertion and reason, choose the correct option.

Assertion: In the bonding molecular orbital (MO) of H 2 , electron density is increased between the nuclei.
Reason: The bonding MO is ψA+ψB , which shows destructive interference of the combining electron waves.
