Answer» Correct Answer - B `O_(2): sigma1s^(2),sigma^(**)1s^(2),sigma2s^(2),sigma^(**)2s^(2),sigma2p_(x)^(2),{{:(pi 2p_(y)^(2)),(pi 2p_(z)^(2)):}{{:(pi^(**)2p_(y)^(1)),(pi^(**)2p_(z)^(1)):}` Bond order =`(10-6)/2` ltBrgt (Two unpaired electrons in antibonding molecular orbital) `O_(2)^(+): sigma1s^(2),sigma^(**)1s^(2),sigma2s^(2),sigma^(**)2s^(2),sigma2p_(x)^(2),{{:(pi 2p_(y)^(2)),(pi 2p_(z)^(2)):}{{:(pi^(**)2p_(y)^(1)),(pi^(**)2p_(z)^(0)):}` Bond order `=(10-5)/2=2.5` (one unpaired electron in antibonding molecular orbital) hence `O_(2)` as well as `O_(2)^(+)` is paramagnetic , and bond order of `O_(2)^(+)` is greater than that of `O_(2)`. |
