For a stable molecule, the value of bond order must be

  • A
    there is no relationship between stability and bond order
  • B
    zero
  • Correct answer
    C
    positive
  • D
    negative

Solution

Bond order $\propto$ Stability Hence, for a stable molecule the value of bond order must be positive. When bond order is zero the molecule will not exist.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
