We have applied MINDO/3 method to o–, m–, p– Cresol for calculating bond order, oxidation number and dipole moments. These properties have been calculated by MOPAC software and Gaussian 03. The study concluded that bond order indices of o–, m–, p– Cresol calculated by MINDO/3 are similar to the bond order index defined by Mayer [2,3] and the MINDO/3 C–H bond order indices are found to be less than these classical value 1. Oxidation number calculated by Giambiagi’s method[4]. It seems to be indicative of their orientational behavior. The dipole moment should increase with decreasing electronegativity of substituent [5].
