Electron density between nuclei increased during formation of BMO in H2 .
BMO is ψA+ψB (Linear combination of Atomtextc orbitals) provides constructive interference.
While by distructive interference anti BMO ψA−ψB formed.
After understanding the assertion and reason, choose the correct option.
Assertion: In the bonding molecular orbital (MO) of H2, electron density is increased between the nuclei.
Reason: The bonding MO is ψA+ψB , which shows destructive interference of the combining electron waves.

First and second ionization enthalpies of lithium are $520$ kJ mol$^{-1}$ and $7297$ kJ mol$^{-1}$ respectively. Energy required to convert $3.5$ mg lithium (g) into $\text{Li}^{2+}$(g) $[\text{Li(g)} \rightarrow \text{Li}^{2+}\text{(g)}]$ is _______ kJ mol$^{-1}$. (nearest integer) [Molar mass of Li $= 7$ g mol$^{-1}$]
