The video tutorial explains how to determine the bond order of carbon monoxide (CO) by drawing its Lewis structure and calculating the bond order. It begins with an introduction to bond order and the CO molecule, followed by a step-by-step guide to drawing the Lewis structure. The tutorial then demonstrates forming double and triple bonds to satisfy the octet rule. After establishing a valid Lewis structure, the bond order is calculated by counting the number of bonds. The video also mentions using molecular orbital theory as an alternative method to calculate bond order, providing a link for further exploration. The tutorial concludes by summarizing the bond order's implications on bond strength, length, and molecular stability.
