H ow to find Bond Order?  What is Bond Order? Bond order shows the bond(number of chemicals) that are present between pair of atoms. FORMULA :- 1/2 [Nb - Na] Na = number of antibonding electrons Nb = number of bonding electrons How to find bond order? Follow these simple steps to get the bond order of any of the elements:- Step1 First, you have to find the no. of electrons in a given compound or molecule. For example:- The question is to find the bond order of N2 Then no. of electrons in this molecule is 7+7 = 14 Similarly, for CN- compound, it will be 6+7+1 = 14; for F2 it will be 9+9= 18. Step2 After adding no. of electron, you will get numbers   like 10,11,12,13,14,15,16....etc. Now, remember this table- No. of electrons    Bond Order 10              -            1 11           ...
