Which of the following options represent the correct bond order?
- A \(O_2^+ < O_2^- < O_2\)
- B \(O_2 < O_2^- < O_2^+\)
- C \(O_2^- < O_2^+ < O_2\)
- D \(O_2^- < O_2 < O_2^+\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(O_2^- < O_2 < O_2^+\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The number of electrons in O\(_2\) is 16. The electronic configuration of O\(_2\) is \(\sigma_{1s}^{2} \sigma_{1s}^{*2} \sigma_{2s}^{2} \sigma_{2s}^{*2} \sigma_{2p_z}^{2} \pi_{2p_x}^{2} \pi_{2p_y}^{2} \pi_{2p_x}^{*1} \pi_{2p_y}^{*1}\). Bond order of O…
