What is meant by the term bond order? Calculate the bond order of: straight N subscript 2 comma space straight O subscript 2 comma space straight O subscript 2 superscript plus space and space straight O subscript 2 superscript minus.


Bond order is defined as one-half of the difference between the number of electrons present in the bonding and anti-bonding orbitals of the molecule.
If Na is equal to the number of electron in an antibonding orbital, then
Nb is equal to the number of electron in a bonding orbital.
1/2(Nb-Na)

If Nb>Na, then the molecule is said to stable. However, if Nb
