MCQ
Consider the ions/molecule

$O _{2}^{+}, O _{2}, O _{2}^{-}, O _{2}^{2-}$

For increasing bond order the correct option is ..... .

  • $O _{2}^{2-}< O _{2}^{-}< O _{2}< O _{2}^{+}$
  • B
    $O _{2}^{-}< O _{2}^{2-}< O _{2}< O _{2}^{+}$
  • C
    $O _{2}^{-}< O _{2}^{2-}< O _{2}^{+}< O _{2}$
  • D
    $O _{2}^{-}< O _{2}^{+}< O _{2}^{2-}< O _{2}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$O _{2}^{2-}< O _{2}^{-}< O _{2}< O _{2}^{+}$
a
ion/molecule Number of $e^{-}$ BMO Number of $e^{-}$ in ABMO Bond order
$O _{2}{ }^{+}$ $10$ $5$ $2.5$
$O _{2}{ }$ $10$ $6$ $2$
$O _{2}{ }^{-}$ $10$ $7$ $1.5$
$O _{2}{ }^{-2}$ $10$ $8$ $1$

Bond order $O _{2}{ }^{2-}< O _{2}{ }^{-}< O _{2}< O _{2}{ }^{+}$
