Bond order is the number of chemical bond s between a pair of atom s. For example, in diatomic nitrogen N N the bond order is 3, while in acetylene H C C H the bond order between the two carbon atoms is also 3, and the C H bond order is 1. Bond order gives an indication to the stability of a bond. In a more advanced context, bond order needs not be an integer. A good example of this is bonds between carbon in the molecule benzene , where the delocalized molecular orbital s contain 6 pi electron s over six carbons essentially yielding half a pi bond , together with the sigma bond , the bond order is 1.5. Furthermore, bond orders of 1.1, for example, can arise under complex scenarios and essentially refer to bond strength relative to bonds with order 1. In molecular orbital theory , bond order is also defined as the difference, divided by two, between the number of bonding electron s and the number ... result.

A callable bond also called redeemable bond is a type of bond finance bond debt security that allows the issuer of the bond to retain the privilege of redeeming the bond at some point before the bond reaches its date of maturity. In other words, on the call date s , the issuer has the right, but not the obligation, to buy back the bonds from the bond holders at a defined call price. Technically speaking, the bonds are not really bought and held by the issuer but are instead cancelled immediately. The call price will usually exceed the Par value par or issue price. In certain cases, mainly in the high yield debt market, there can be a substantial call premium. Thus, the issuer has an option finance option , for which it pays in the form of a higher coupon bond coupon rate. If interest rates in the market have gone down by the time of the call date, the issuer will be able to refinance its debt at a cheaper level and so will be incentivized to call the bonds it originally issued. Another ..., it is advantageous to buy the bonds back at par value . With a callable bond, investors have the benefit of a higher coupon bond coupon than they would have had with a straight, non callable bond ... rate.

In chemistry , bond energy E is the measure of bond strength in a chemical bond . It is the heat required to break one Mole unit of molecules into their individual atoms. Ref Frey For example, the carbon hydrogen bond energy in methane E C H is the enthalpy change involved with breaking up one molecule of methane into a carbon atom and 4 hydrogen Radical chemistry radical s divided by 4. br Bond energy E should not be confused with bond dissociation energy . br br Bond energy distance correlation Bond strength energy can be directly related to the bond length bond distance. Therefore, we can use the metallic radius , ionic radius , or covalent radius of each atom in the molecule to determine the bond strength. For example, the covalent radius of boron is estimated at 83.0 picometer pm , but the bond length of B B in B sub 2 sub Cl sub 4 sub is 175 pm, a significantly larger value. This would indicate that the bond between the two boron atoms is a rather weak single bond. In another example, the metallic radius of rhenium is 137.5 pm, with a Re Re bond length of 224 pm in the compound Re sub 2 sub Cl sub 8 sub . From this data, we can conclude that the bond is a very strong bond or a quadruple bond . This method of determination is most useful for covalently bonded compounds. Ref Alcock Factors affecting ionic bond energy There are several contributing factors but usually the most important is the difference in the electronegativity of the two atoms bonding together.
