Now we see the problems inherent in this system:
Is F2+ = [F-F]^+1 or F^+2?
Do to the very electron affinity for Fluorine (328 kJ/mole), the ionization energies are very large:
1st ionization energy: 1681 kJ/mole
2nd ionization energy: 3374.1 kJ/mole
This leaves your question asking about the moleclar orbitals of F2 (or F-F) which has a +2 charge. Considering that the heat of atomization is 79 kJ/mole atoms, there must be as many electrons in antibonding orbitals are there are in the bonding orbitals.

F has 9 electrons, F2+ has 9 - 2 = 7 electrons. antibonding orbital (inner) contains 2 electrons. Bond order is found by sketching the ion.
