Two pi and half sigma bonds are present in:
- a
- b✓
- c
- d
🧠 "Two pi and half sigma" means: 2 complete π bonds + 0.5 σ bond from the net MO contributions.
🗺️ (13 electrons, N₂-type ordering):
\sigma_{1s}^2\sigma^*_{1s}^2\sigma_{2s}^2\sigma^*_{2s}^2\pi_{2p_x}^2\pi_{2p_y}^2\sigma_{2p_z}^1
Net σ contribution: \sigma_{2s}^2(+1) + \sigma^*_{2s}^2(-1) + \sigma_{2p_z}^1(+0.5) = 0.5 σ bond
Net π contribution: π bonds
Total BO = ✓
⚡ For comparison — has 1σ + 2π (integer bonds), and has fractional π character. Only gives exactly two pi and half sigma.
