Solution

Solution:-
Bond order $\to$ Bond order is defined as the number of covalent bonds in a covalent molecule.
Bond order of $N_{2}$ -
Structure of $N_{2} \Rightarrow N \equiv N$
Since there are $3$ covalent bonds in $N_{2}$ , thus the bond order of $N_{2}$ is $3$ .
Bond order of $O_{2}$ -
Structure of $O_{2} \Rightarrow O = O$
Since there are $2$ covalent bonds in $O_{2}$ , thus the bond order of $O_{2}$ is $2$ .
