Bond Order Calculator
Molecular Orbital Theory
Calculate bond order to determine bond strength, stability, and molecular properties using molecular orbital theory.
Calculator
Number of electrons in bonding molecular orbitals
Number of electrons in antibonding molecular orbitals
Formula:
Bond Order = (Nb - Na) / 2
Higher bond order = stronger, shorter bond
About Bond Order
Bond order indicates the number of chemical bonds between atoms and determines bond strength and stability.
Key Relationships:
- Higher bond order = stronger bond
- Higher bond order = shorter bond
- Bond order 0 = no bond
- Fractional = resonance
Features
- Molecular orbital theory
- Bond type identification
- Stability analysis
- Bond length prediction
- Bond strength assessment
- Quick molecule examples

Common Molecules
Hâ‚‚: Bond Order = 1 (Single)
Oâ‚‚: Bond Order = 2 (Double)
Nâ‚‚: Bond Order = 3 (Triple)
Fâ‚‚: Bond Order = 1 (Single)
Heâ‚‚: Bond Order = 0 (No bond)
Molecular Orbitals
Bonding (σ, π): Lower energy, stabilize molecule
Antibonding (σ*, π*): Higher energy, destabilize molecule
Non-bonding: No effect on bond order
Applications
Chemistry: Predict molecular stability
Research: Understand bonding nature
Education: Learn MO theory
Analysis: Compare bond strengths
