If the bond order of $\mathrm{CO}$ is $\mathrm{x}$, the bond order of $\mathrm{O}_2^{2-}$ ion is

If the bond order of $\mathrm{CO}$ is $\mathrm{x}$, the bond order of $\mathrm{O}_2^{2-}$ ion is
  1. $\mathrm{X}$
  2. $\mathrm{x} / 2$
  3. $x / 3$
  4. $2 \mathrm{x}$

Solution

Bond order of $\mathrm{O}_2^{2-}=\frac{1}{2}(10-8)=1$ Bond order of $\mathrm{CO}=3=\mathrm{x}$ $\therefore \quad$ Bond order of $\mathrm{O}_2^{2-}=\frac{\mathrm{x}}{3}$
