On the atomic level, bond order is the number of bonded electron pairs between two atoms. In diatomic nitrogen (N≡N), for instance, the bond order is 3 because there are 3 chemical bonds linking the two nitrogen atoms. In molecular orbital theory, bond order is also defined as half of the difference between the number of bonding and antibonding electrons. For a straightforward answer: use this formula: '''Bond order = [(Number of electrons in bonding molecules) - (Number of electrons in antibonding molecules)]/2'''.<ref>https://www.boundless.com/chemistry/textbooks/boundless-chemistry-textbook/advanced-concepts-of-chemical-bonding-10/molecular-orbital-theory-82/bond-order-366-591/</ref> | On the atomic level, bond order is the number of bonded electron pairs between two atoms.
