Cl2 has a longer, weaker bond than Cl2+ (Cl2: 1.988 Å, Cl2+ : 1.8917 Å). Furthermore,...

Cl2 has a longer, weaker bond than Cl2+ (Cl2: 1.988 Å, Cl2+ : 1.8917 Å).

Furthermore, Cl2+ has higher bond dissociation energy (Cl2: 57.18 kcal/mole, Cl2+ : 99.2 kcal/mole).

Use molecular-orbital theory to predict the bond order for each of these molecules and explain why Cl2+ has higher bond dissociation energy.
