Hydrogen is a diatomic molecule, which means that it has two atoms bonded together. The bond order of hydrogen is 2, which means that each H atom has two bonds to its neighbor.
The bond order indicates how many bonds an atom shares with another atom or group of atoms. When writing the Lewis structure for a compound, you can use the number of bonds to determine the bond order.
In general, when a bond order is greater than 1, there are multiple bonds between the same pair of atoms. When the bond order is equal to 1, there is one bond between each pair of atoms.
