Question
Given below are two statements:
Statement (I) : The correct sequence of bond lengths in the following species is :
$$O_{2}^{+} < O_{2} < O_{2}^{-} < O_{2}^{2 -}$$
Statement (II) : The correct sequence of number of unpaired electrons in the following species is :
$$O_{2} > O_{2}^{+} > O_{2}^{-} > O_{2}^{2 -} $$In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Options
A.Both Statement I and Statement II are true
B.Both Statement I and Statement II are false
C.Statement I is true but Statement II is false
D.Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Solution
Sol. [Key Concept: Use MO theory: get bond order and unpaired-electron count of each O$2$ species.]
