If the question asks to find bond order for elements C,N,O,....We have to draw molecular orbital.Is it same for the elements C,N,O?

In chemistry, a molecular orbital (or MO) is a mathematical function describing the wave-like behavior of an electron in a molecule.Bond order is the number of chemical bonds between a pair of atoms.For example, indiatomic nitrogen N?N the bond order is 3, while acetelene  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. For simple molecules it is same.
