Average Bond Order represents the average number of chemical bonds between a pair of bond elements.
Concept #1: Average Bond Order
A single bond has a bond order of 1, a double bond has a bond order of 2, and a triple bond has a bond of 3.
Larger the Average Bond Order, stronger the bond strength and shorter the length of the bond.
Example #1: What is the average bond order of the sulfur–oxygen bonds within the sulfite ion?
