To determine the bond order for cn, we want to first create the molecular orbital diagram for cn.

We're going to have carbon on the left, nitrogen on the right, starting with 2s and 2p, and this would be sigma 2p pi 2p star sigma 2p, and now my electrons, carbon 1, 2, 3, 4 valence electrons, nitrogen 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 valence electrons.

So this would give me, i've got a total of 9.

So 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9...
