Yeah, so I was sick and I missed my review class. I have to take my test tomorrow over bonding and hybridization. I think I get everything except bond order. Can anyone explain to me how to draw the diagrams for it?

I'm probably too late, but later is better than never.

Bond order. Count number of electrons involved in bonds, and count the number of atom-atom connections. Divide the former by the latter. That's all there is to it. Bond order is mainly a way to quantitatively describe how much a double bond or triple bond affects the molecule relative to the entire molecule.
