Bond Order  = 1/2[ Nb - Na]

where

Nb = Number of electrons in bonding molecular orbitals.

Na = Number of Electrons in antibonding molecular orbitals

Bond Order of N2⁺:

Total number of electrons: 13

Electronic Configuration= :σ1s² σ*1s² σ2s² σ*2s² π 2py² [π2pz² σ2px1 ]

Bond Order = [9-4]/2 = 5/2 = 2.5.

If a process in a monitor signal and no task is waiting on the condition variable, the signal is lost. So this allows easier program design. Whereas in semaphores, every operation affects the value of the semaphore, so the wait and signal operations should be perfectly balanced in the program.
