Which of the following statement is incorrect?
- A Bond length of \(\mathrm{O}_2>\) Bond length of \(\mathrm{O}_2^{2+}\)
- B Bond order of \(\mathrm{O}_2^{+}<\)Bond order of \(\mathrm{O}_2^{2-}\)
- C Bond length of \(\mathrm{O}_2>\) Bond length of \(\mathrm{O}_2^{2-}\)
- D Bond order of \(\mathrm{O}_2>\) Bond order of \(\mathrm{O}_2^{2-}\)
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 \(\mathrm{O}_2^{2-}\).
