Bond Order
« on: October 08, 2017, 10:42:18 AM »
Hello, I understand how to calculate for bond order but in this question is fluorine included?

Calculate the bond order for the N-O bond in NO2F?

Fluorine only makes a difference in that it plays a role in how the other atoms are bonded together. The bond order refers only to the bond between two atoms.

So for this question, N-O bond order should be, 3-2(number of bonds between N and O2 atoms- Number of resonance hybrid)
=1?
Or the calculations should only include N-O1? one atom of oxygen
