Which of the following statement is incorrect?

  1. A Bond length of \(\mathrm{O}_2>\) Bond length of \(\mathrm{O}_2^{2+}\)
  2. B Bond order of \(\mathrm{O}_2^{+}<\)Bond order of \(\mathrm{O}_2^{2-}\)
  3. C Bond length of \(\mathrm{O}_2>\) Bond length of \(\mathrm{O}_2^{2-}\)
  4. D Bond order of \(\mathrm{O}_2>\) Bond order of \(\mathrm{O}_2^{2-}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Bond order of \(\mathrm{O}_2^{+}<\)Bond order of \(\mathrm{O}_2^{2-}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation


We know that,
Thus, bond order \(=\mathrm{O}_2^{2+}>\mathrm{O}_2^{+}>\mathrm{O}_2>\mathrm{O}_2^{-}>\mathrm{O}_2^{2-}\) Bond length \(\propto \frac{1}{\text { Bond order }}\)
\(\therefore\) Bond length \(=\mathrm{O}_2^{2+}<\mathrm{O}_2^{+}<\mathrm{O}_2<\mathrm{O}_2^{-}<\mathrm{O}_2^{2-}\)
Thus, the incorrect statement is given in option
(b) i.e. bonds order of \(\mathrm{O}_2^{+}<\)bond order of \(\mathrm{O}_2^{2-}\).
