$e^{-}$pair

Pondered
$\mathrm{H}_{2}$ (dihydrogen) $H-H$ $1$ $1$ (single bond)
$\mathrm{O}_{2}$ (dioxygen) $O=O$ $2$ $2$ (double bond)
$\mathrm{N}_{2}$ (dinitrogen) $N \equiv N$ $3$ $3$ (triple bond)

$\mathrm{CO}$ (carbon $\quad$ monoxide)

$C \equiv O$ $3$ $3$ (triple bond)
$\mathrm{NO}^{+}$ $(\mathrm{N} \equiv \mathrm{O})^{+}$ $3$ $3$ (triple bond)
