D

1

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Bond order of `O_(2^(2-))`
Total electron `= 18`
Configuration ` = KK sigma (2s)^(2) sigma^(**) (2s )^(2) sigma (2p_(z))^(2) pi(2p_(x))^(2) pi(2p_(y))^(2)pi^(**)(2p_(x))^(2)pi^(**)(2p_(y))^(2)`
Bond order `= (N_(b) - N_(a))/(2) = (8-6)/(2) = 1.0`
