The number of electrons in bonding orbital and anti-bonding orbital of Lithium molecule are ______ and _______ respectively.

Correct Answer: 4, 2
The lithium molecule is denoted by Li2. When the lithium molecule is formed, each of the lithium shares an electron in the 2s orbital. Its electronic configuration is σ1s2σ*1s2σ2s2. So the number of electrons in bonding orbital and anti-bonding orbital of Lithium molecule are 4 and 2 respectively.
