A new bond order definition B = βS 2 is defined which relates the bond order B to the non‐classical exchange charges in the bonding region. This definition is successful in correlating the bond order to its bond energy, when the overlap is calculated from a generalized valence‐bond pair function and the parameter β is chosen to be the inverse of bond distance.
