The correct bond order in the following species is:

The correct bond order in the following species is:
  1. O22+<O2+<O2-
  2. O22+<O2-<O2+
  3. O2+<O2-<O22+
  4. O2-<O2+<O22+

Solution

B.O=Nb -Na2
O 2 σ1 s 2 < σ * 1 s 2 <σ2 s 2 < σ * 2 s 2 <σ2 p z 2 <π2 p x 2 =π2 p y 2 < π * 2 p x 2 = π * 2 p y 1
B.O for O2-=1.510 - 72=1.5
O 2 σ1 s 2 < σ * 1 s 2 <σ2 s 2 < σ * 2 s 2 <σ2 p z 2 <π2 p x 2 =π2 p y 2 < π * 2 p x 1 = π * 2 p y 1
B.O for O2=2.010  62=2
O 2 + σ1 s 2 < σ * 1 s 2 <σ2 s 2 < σ * 2 s 2 <σ2 p z 2 <π2 p x 2 <π2 p y 2 < π * 2 p x 1 < π * 2 p y 0
B.O for O2+=2.510 - 52=2.5

O22+σ1s2<σ*1s2<σ2s2<σ*2s2<σ2pz2<π2px1=π2py1<π*2px0=π*2py0
O22+B.O=10-42=3.0
O2-<O2+<O22+
