While searching for a replacement fuel, you discover some diboron, B_2-_. As head engineers of your starship in charge of the warp drive you notice that the supply of dilithiumis critically low.
1. Calculate the bond order in B_2_and Li_2_?
2. Determine the numbers of electrons must be removed from B_2_ to make it is electronic with Li_2_ so that it might be used in the warp drive?
