According to MO theory, number of species/ions from the following having identical bond order is ________.

$$\mathrm{CN}^{-}, \mathrm{NO}^{+}, \mathrm{O}_{2}, \mathrm{O}_{2}^{+}, \mathrm{O}_{2}^{2+}$$

Answer
3

Explanation

$\mathrm{CN}^{-}, \mathrm{NO}^{+}$and $\mathrm{O}_{2}^{2+}$ have bond order of 3

$\mathrm{O}_{2}$ has bond order of 2

$\mathrm{O}_{2}^{+}$ has bond order of $2.5$
