MCQ
Which of the following options represents the correct bond order?
  • A
    $O_2^- > O_2 < O_2^+$
  • B
    $O_2^- < O_2 > O_2^{+}$
  • C
    $O_{2}^- > O_2 > O_{2}^+$
  • $O_{2}^- < O_2 < O_{2}^+$

Answer

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

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

No. of $e^{-} \quad 17 \quad\;\; 16 \quad \; 15$

Bond order $1.5 \quad \;\;2 \quad\;\; 2.5$
