MCQ
The correct bond order in the following species is
  • A
    $O_{2}^+ < O_{2}^- < O_2^{2+}$
  • $O_{2}^- < O_{2}^+ < O_2^{2+}$
  • C
    $O_2^{2+} < O_{2}^+ < O_{2}^-$
  • D
    $O_2^{2+} < O_{2}^- < O_{2}^+$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$O_{2}^- < O_{2}^+ < O_2^{2+}$
b
According to molecular orbital theory (MOT)

$\quad \quad \quad \quad \quad O_{2}^{-} \quad O_{2}^{+} \quad O_{2}^{+2}$

No. ofe $^{-} \quad 17 \quad\;\; 15 \quad\quad 14$

Bond order $1.5 \quad \;2.5 \quad \quad 3.0$
