Re: Bond order
Bond order is defined as the number of chemical bonds between a pair of atoms, and it indicates the stability of a bond.

Re: Bond order
Bond order is the number of chemical bonds between atoms. To find bond order, count the number of bonds in a molecule and divide that by the number of bonding regions. For example, NO3- has 4 bonds, comprised of two single bonds and one double bond. You would divide 4 bonds by 3 bonding regions/bond groups to get a bond order of 1.33. For H2, you'd divide 1 bond by 1 bonding region to get a bond order of 1. Bond order indicates the stability of a bond, and it is inversely proportional with bond length.

Re: Bond order
Bond order is a measurement of the number of electrons involved in bonds between two atoms in a molecule.
