MCQ
The internuclear distances in $O -O$ bonds for $O_2^+ ; O_2 , O_2^-$ and $O_2^{2-}$ respectively are
  • A
    $1.30\mathop {\,A}\limits^o ,1.49\,\mathop A\limits^o ,1.12\,\mathop A\limits^o ,1.21\,\mathop A\limits^o $
  • B
    $1.49\mathop {\,A}\limits^o ,1.21\,\mathop A\limits^o ,1.12\,\mathop A\limits^o ,1.30\,\mathop A\limits^o $
  • C
    $1.21\mathop {\,A}\limits^o ,1.12\,\mathop A\limits^o ,1.49\,\mathop A\limits^o ,1.30\,\mathop A\limits^o $
  • $1.12\mathop {\,A}\limits^o ,1.21\,\mathop A\limits^o ,1.30\,\mathop A\limits^o ,1.49\,\mathop A\limits^o $

Answer

Correct option: D.
$1.12\mathop {\,A}\limits^o ,1.21\,\mathop A\limits^o ,1.30\,\mathop A\limits^o ,1.49\,\mathop A\limits^o $
d
The bond length follows the order

$O_2^+ < O_2 < O_2^- < O_2^{2-}$

According to this the possible values are

$1.12\mathop {\,A}\limits^o ,1.21\,\mathop A\limits^o ,1.30\,\mathop A\limits^o ,1.49\,\mathop A\limits^o $
