Explanation :

According to the molecular orbital theory, the general molecular orbital configuration will be,

(\sigma_{1s}),(\sigma_{1s}^*),(\sigma_{2s}),(\sigma_{2s}^*),(\sigma_{2p_z}),[(\pi_{2p_x})=(\pi_{2p_y})],[(\pi_{2p_x}^*)=(\pi_{2p_y}^*)],(\sigma_{2p_z}^*)

As there are 7 electrons present in nitrogen and 9 electrons in fluorine.

(a) The number of electrons present in NF molecule = 7 + 9 = 16

The molecular orbital configuration of NF molecule will be,

(\sigma_{1s})^2,(\sigma_{1s}^*)^2,(\sigma_{2s})^2,(\sigma_{2s}^*)^2,(\sigma_{2p_z})^2,[(\pi_{2p_x})^2=(\pi_{2p_y})^2],[(\pi_{2p_x}^*)^1=(\pi_{2p_y}^*)^1],(\sigma_{2p_z}^*)^0

The formula of bonding order = \frac{1}{2}\times (\text{Number of bonding electrons}-\text{Number of anti-bonding electrons})

The bonding order of NF = \frac{1}{2}\times (10-6)=2

(b) The number of electrons present in NF^+ molecule = 7 + 9 - 1 = 15

The molecular orbital configuration of NF^+ molecule will be,

(\sigma_{1s})^2,(\sigma_{1s}^*)^2,(\sigma_{2s})^2,(\sigma_{2s}^*)^2,(\sigma_{2p_z})^2,[(\pi_{2p_x})^2=(\pi_{2p_y})^2],[(\pi_{2p_x}^*)^1=(\pi_{2p_y}^*)^0],(\sigma_{2p_z}^*)^0

The bonding order of NF^+ = \frac{1}{2}\times (10-5)=2.5

(c) The number of electrons present in NF^- molecule = 7 + 9 + 1 = 17

The molecular orbital configuration of NF^- molecule will be,

(\sigma_{1s})^2,(\sigma_{1s}^*)^2,(\sigma_{2s})^2,(\sigma_{2s}^*)^2,(\sigma_{2p_z})^2,[(\pi_{2p_x})^2=(\pi_{2p_y})^2],[(\pi_{2p_x}^*)^2=(\pi_{2p_y}^*)^1],(\sigma_{2p_z}^*)^0

The bonding order of NF^- = \frac{1}{2}\times (10-7)=1.5
