Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1,1.5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The peroxide ion in sodium peroxide is \(\mathrm{O}_2^{2-}\) has total of 18 electrons. Electronic configuration of \(\mathrm{O}_2^{2-}\) is \(\sigma 1 s^2, \sigma^* 1 s^2, \sigma 2 s^2, \sigma^* 2 s^2, \pi 2 p_z^2, \pi 2 p_x^2 \approx \pi 2 p_y^2\),…
