Q. The correct bond order in the following species is

$O_{2}^{2 +} < O_{2}^{+} < O_{2}^{-}$

$O_{2}^{+} < O_{2}^{-} < O_{2}^{2 +}$

$O_{2}^{-} < O_{2}^{+} < O_{2}^{2 +}$

$O_{2}^{2 +} < O_{2}^{-} < O_{2}^{+}$

According to molecular orbital theory (MOT)

Q. The correct bond order in the following species is

O22+​<O2+​<O2−​

O2+​<O2−​<O22+​

O2−​<O2+​<O22+​

O22+​<O2−​<O2+​

According to molecular orbital theory (MOT)

$O_{2}^{2 +} < O_{2}^{+} < O_{2}^{-}$

$O_{2}^{+} < O_{2}^{-} < O_{2}^{2 +}$

$O_{2}^{-} < O_{2}^{+} < O_{2}^{2 +}$

$O_{2}^{2 +} < O_{2}^{-} < O_{2}^{+}$
