Expert Answer
When you are talking about the molecular orbital theory(MOT) than bond order explain the stability of molecules but when you talk about the atomic orbital theory than bond order can describe the number of bonds exist between the atoms.So,in M.O.T(exist in molecules only) bond order which is positive means only that the molecule is stable.Fraction or whole number doesn't have any significance, only positive/negative value need to be consider.
