The species, which has the bond order same as that of \(\mathrm{F}_2\) molecule is

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{O}_2^{2-}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

MO for the fluorine molecule, the 14 valence electrons of the fluorine atoms fill 4 bonding and 3 anti-bonding orbital thus bond order is 1 . Bond order \[ =\frac{\text { bonding electrons }- \text { anti }- \text { bonding electrons }}{2} \] In the same way…
