Options

A.N2
B.F2
C.O2- 
D.O22- 

Solution

N2  :  σls2, σ*ls2, σ2s2,  σ*2s2,[ π2p2y =  π2p2z] σ2p2x
F2 :  σls2, σ*ls2, σ2s2,  σ*2s2,  σ2p2[ π2p2y =  π2p2z] [π* 2p2y=  π* 2p1z] σ*2s2x
O2-  :  σls2, σ*ls2, σ2s2,  σ*2s2,  σ2p2[ π2p2y =  π2p2z] [π* 2p2y=  π* 2p1z]
O22-  :  σls2, σ*ls2, σ2s2,  σ*2s2,  σ2p2[ π2p2y =  π2p2z] [π* 2p2y=  π* 2p2z]
