Q. Which of the following molecule stabilizes by removal of electron?

Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure

Solution:

On removing $e^{-}$from $O _{2}$ its bond order increases from $2$ to $2.5 $
$\therefore $ stability increases.
$O _{2}=\sigma 1 s ^{2} \ldots{ }^{*} 2 p _{ x }{ }^{1}={ }^{*} 2 p _{ y }{ }^{1}$
$O _{2}{ }^{+}=\sigma 1 s ^{2} \ldots \pi 2 p _{ x }{ }^{1}={ }^{*} 2 p _{ y }^{0}$
