Abstract

(Graph Presented) Maxing out at six: The maximum bond order that can be achieved between two equal atoms in the periodic system is six. The picture shows the potential energy curves for the diatoms Cr₂, Mo ₂, and W₂, where the latter two are sextuply bonded molecules (d = internuclear distance in atomic units).
