thanks homie

@EnderlePhD thanks for the reply! But I got it figured out! I realized after that the formal charges in the Lewis Structure with the double bond on the Cl made that model unfavorable. After I ignored that one, I was able to get the NO bond order of 1.5 the same way you described above. Thanks again!!!

thank you guy

YOU ARE A SUPERSTARRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU FUCKING ROCKKKK LOL! Can't thank you enough. However, what is the purpose of the bond order? Like what does it prove?

@MsEvilgenius101 The bond order indicates the type of bond. BO = 1 is a single bond, BO = 2 is a double bond, and BO = 3 is a triple bond. Any number in between is a combination thereof. Most students will see the importance of bond order when they learn molecular orbital diagrams because there the bond order is not as straightforward as this example.

Thanks for the video! Do you mind me asking how I would find the bond order for a molecule such as nitryl chloride? O2NCl? Here, there is resonance with the chlorine and I don't think your method would work.

@MrWelfare Tell me what you think are all the viable resonance structures and I'll answer the question. It does get more difficult when the resonance structures don't contribute equally.

i dont like that method. i say use best resonance structure count total bonds and divide by number of outside atoms being bonded to.

@sweetsmile493 That's fine with me. Be careful because not all bonds are involved in the resonance so it is easy to mis-count depending on the given molecule.
