  2. B \(\mathrm{O}_2^{+}, \mathrm{O}_2^{-}, \mathrm{N}_2^{+}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{O}_2^{2+}, \mathrm{O}_2, \mathrm{C}_2^{2-}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{Li}_2, \mathrm{H}_2^{+}, \mathrm{C}_2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{O}_2^{+}, \mathrm{O}_2^{-}, \mathrm{N}_2^{+}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Bond order \((\mathrm{BO})=\frac{1}{2}\) (number of electron in bonding MO's - number of electron in anti-bonding \(\mathrm{MO}^{\prime} \mathrm{s}\) ) \(\mathbf{C}_2^{2-}:\) Total number of electrons \(=6+6+2=14\) Electronic configuration…
