Bond Order  = 1/2[ Nb - Na]

where

Nb = Number of electrons in bonding molecular orbitals.

Na = Number of Electrons in antibonding molecular orbitals

Bond Order of N2⁺:

Total number of electrons: 13

Electronic Configuration= :σ1s² σ*1s² σ2s² σ*2s² π 2py² [π2pz² σ2px1 ]

Bond Order = [9-4]/2 = 5/2 = 2.5.

The Von Hippel Award, the Materials Research Society's highest honor, recognizes those qualities most prized by materials scientists and engineers—brilliance and originality of intellect, combined with vision that transcends the boundaries of conventional scientific disciplines. The Von Hippel Award is named after Arthur von Hippel (1898-2003), who was a pioneer in the study of dielectrics, semiconductors, ferromagnetics and ferroelectrics.

Eminent Scientist and Bharat Ratna Prof C.N.R. Rao was awarded 2017 Von Hippel Award. He is first Indian and first Asian to win this honour. The award will be presented to Prof Rao for his interdisciplinary contributions to development of novel functional materials, including nanomaterials, graphene, superconductivity, 2D materials and colossal magnetoresistance at Boston in November 2017.

An anti-lock braking system (ABS) is a safety anti-skid braking system used on aircraft and on land vehicles , such as cars, motorcycles, trucks and buses.

ABS is only on the front wheels and it can improve your ability and the stability of your car by keeping the front wheels from locking under severe braking it will allow the wheels to continue to roll so the car can stop straight and stop as safe and as soon as possible
