Preferred Label : bond order;
IUPAC definition : The electron population in the region between atoms A and B of a molecular entity
at the expense of electron density in the immediate vicinity of the individual atomic
centers. Different schemes of partitioning electron density give rise to different
definitions of bond orders. In the framework of the Mulliken population analysis,
bond order is associated with the total overlap population, \[{q}_{{AB}} 2\ \sum _{\begin{array}{c};
