The bond order of Li2 is 2.

As of 2018, the literature has not yet reached a consensus regarding the bond order of lithium. Several groups have reported values ranging from 1 to 2. A 2015 paper by K. C. Visweswara rao an D. P. Somasundaram in Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics reports a bond order of 2 based on molecular dynamics simulations. In 2017, the same authors published a follow-up paper in Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, in which they report a bond order of 1 based on ab initio calculations. A 2017 paper by P. M. Roterman and coworkers in The Journal of Chemical Physics reports a bond order of 2 based on theory and experiment combined. In 2018, E. Duru and coworkers also report a bond order of 2 based on ab initio calculations in The Journal of Physical Chemistry C

Yes, the stability of Li2 has been confirmed.


Do any what have unpaired electrons C2 N2 F2 O2 Li2?

Yes, N2 and O2 have unpaired electrons because they have a triple bond between the nitrogen or oxygen atoms, resulting in one unpaired electron in each molecule. Li2 does not have unpaired electrons because it forms a stable bond with shared electrons within the lithium atoms.

Do you expect li2- to exist in the gas phase?

It is unlikely for li2- to exist in the gas phase as lithium typically forms cations, not anions. Additionally, the stability of Li2- in the gas phase would be hindered by the repulsive forces between the two negatively charged lithium ions.
