Wait doesn't Boron have 3 valence electrons? Great videos btw tysm!

Yes, you are correct. I did once say "valence" but I meant and used the total number of electrons in boron. And in this process you want to use the total number of electrons, not the valence electrons, because the MO diagram includes both the n=1 and n=2 energy levels. If you wanted to just use the valence electrons, you would need to exclude the n=1 orbitals from the MO diagram.

Isnt the number of valence electrons in O 6? and not 8?

I used (and said) the "total" number of electrons, not the valence electrons. I'm including the n=1 level, which means that I need to include all electrons. But yes, there are 6 valence electrons in oxygen.

If the bond order is 0 is it unstable?

Excellent question - a bond order of zero means that it is so unstable the bond does not even exist... zero bond :)
