The stability of the molecule can be restated in terms of bond order.

A positive bond order (i.e. $\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{b}}>\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{a}}$ ) means a stable molecule.

A negative bond order (i.e. $\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{b}}<\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{a}}$ ) means on unstable molecule.

A zero bond order (i.e. $\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{b}}=\mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{a}}$ ) means bond not possible.
