What is Bond Order?

Bond order is defined as the number of bonded electron pairs between two bonded atoms. It provides an indication of the stability and strength of a bond. A higher bond order generally means a stronger and more stable bond.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ BO = \frac{10 - 4}{2} = 3 \]

The Bond Order is 3.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ BO = \frac{8 - 6}{2} = 1 \]

The Bond Order is 1.
