type this: "desc C3N.1" which will show you the atom types of each atom.

This is not correct. Connectivity should only be reported once -- amber
doesn't really use bond orders for anything, so a bond between two atoms
should not get repeated two or three times for double or triple bonds.

It's often easer to look at the mol2 file, if that helps.
