2.2.2 Bond order
Hydrogen contains a single bond.
Oxygen molecules contain a double-bond.
Diatomic Nitrogen contains a triple-bond.
The number of bonds between two atoms is known as the bond order. The more strength a bond has, the closer they are packed, thus the length decreases.
Bond strength and Bond length can be quanified. The stronger the bond, the larger the bond entalphy.
Bond length = the average distance between two bonded neclei.
