Bond order is simply no of bonds between the pair of atoms...
so Nitrogen is connected by 3 bonds...so bond order would be 3
similarly,
O2 has 1.5 ...as (no of bonding electron - no of anti bonding electrons)
thus1/2 (10-3)
=1/2 ×3
= 1.5
Similarly using formula..O2- will have 2.5
(10–5)/2=2.5
o2+ will have 2.5 ..This can be explained by Molecular orbital theory
