Compara the relative stablilties of O_(2)^(-) and N_(2)^(-)and comment

1.	Compara the relative stablilties of O_(2)^(-) and N_(2)^(-)and comment on their magnetic (paramagetic or diamagnetic ) behaviour.
Answer» Solution : M.O. Electronic CONFIGURATION of` O_(2)^(-) = KK SIGMA _(2s)^(2) sigma _(2)^(2) sigma _(2p_(z) p)^(2) pi_(2p_(x))^(2) pi_(2p_(y))^(2) pi_(2p_(x))^(2) pi_(2p_(y))^(1)` Bondorder= ` (1)/(2) (8-5) = (3)/(2) = 1.5 ` M.O. Electronic configuration of` O_(2)^(-) = KK sigma _(2s)^(2) sigma _(2)^(2)pi_(2p_(x))^(2) pi_(2p_(y))^(2)pi_(2p_(z))^(1)` Bond order`= (1)/(2) (7-2) = (5)/(2) = 2.5 `
