Question

The correct bond order in thAe following species is:-

Options

A.O22+ < O2− < O2+
B.O2+ < O2− < O22+
C.O2− < O2+ < O22+
D.O22+ < O2+ < O2−

Solution

According to molecular orbital theory (MOT)
                                      O2−     O2+     O2+2
No. of e−                           17      15       14
