Bond order

If you’re ever looking at MO’s and you don’t know if they’re antibonding or nonbonding or whatnot, just count up the # of bonding interactions and the # of antibonding interactions. Or nonbonding iteractions, if there are any. Point is, if they are equal, it’s nonbonding, and if there’s more of one, it’s that one.
