In the following the correct bond order sequence is:

In the following the correct bond order sequence is:
  1. O22->O2+>O2->O2
  2. O2+>O2->O22->O2
  3. O2+>O2>O2->O22-
  4. O2>O2->O22->O2+

Solution

O2(16 electrons)

σ1s2,σ1s*2,σ2s2,σ2s*2,σ2p22

π2px2=π2py2,π2px*1=π2py*1,σ2pz*

Bond order of O22
Bond order of O2-1.5
Bond order of O22-1
Bond order of O2+2.5
