Which of the following options represents the correct bond order?
Thinking process
To calcualte bond order, write the molecular orbital configuration of particular species and afterwards using the formula.
Bond order =`1/2` [Number of bonding `(N_(6))` - Number of anti-bonding electrons `(N_(a))`]

A

`O_(2)^(-) gt O_(2) gt O_(2)^(+)`

B

`O_(2)^(-) lt O_(2) lt O_(2)^(+)`

C

`O_(2)^(-) gt O_(2) lt O_(2)^(+)`

D

`O_(2)^(-) lt O_(2) gt O_(2)^(+)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The correct order of bond order is :
`O_(2)^(-)(1.5)ltO_(2)(2.0)ltO_(2)^(+)(2.5)`
