Question
Which of the following options represents the correct bond order ?
Options
A.O2- < O2 < O2+
B.O2- > O2 < O2+
C.O2- < O2 > O2+
D.O2- > O2 > O2+
Solution
According to molecular orbital theory (MOT)
O2− O2 O2+
No. of e− 17 16 15
Bond order 1.5 2 2.5
O2− O2 O2+
No. of e− 17 16 15
Bond order 1.5 2 2.5
