how?plz give me the process
sorry
answer is 2
SOLUTION
1) Draw the Lewis Structure.

2) Count the total number of bonds.
4
The total number of bonds is 4.
3) Count the number of bond groups between individual atoms.
2
The number of bond groups between atoms is 2.
4) Divide the bond groups between individual atoms by the total number of bonds.
42=2(1.2)(1.2)42=2
The bond order is 2.

To find the bond order of this molecule, take the average of the bond orders. N=O has a bond order of two, and both N-O bonds have a bond order of one. Adding these together and dividing by the number of bonds (3) reveals that the bond order of nitrate is 1.33.
