(N/A) The bond order between two atoms is directly proportional to the bond strength. As the bond order increases,the bond enthalpy increases,the bond length decreases,and the stability of the molecule increases.
$\text{Bond Strength} \propto \text{Bond order} \propto \frac{1}{\text{Bond length}} \propto \text{Stability of molecule}$
This relationship is illustrated by the following examples:
BondBond orderBond lengthStrength
$C-C$$1$$154 \text{ pm}$Minimum
$C=C$$2$$133 \text{ pm}$Intermediate
$C \equiv C$$3$$120 \text{ pm}$Maximum
$C-N$$1$$143 \text{ pm}$Minimum
$C=N$$2$$138 \text{ pm}$Intermediate
$C \equiv N$$3$$116 \text{ pm}$Maximum
