Compare the relative stability of following species and indicate their

1.	Compare the relative stability of following species and indicate their magnetic properties : O_2 , O_(2)^(+),O_2 ^(-) ,(superoxide), O_(2)^(-2) (peroxide)
Answer» SOLUTION :Bond orders of different species are: `O_(2)-2.0,O_(2)^(+)-2.5,O_(2)^(-)-1.5,O_(2)^(-2)-1.0` Relative STABILITY `O_(2)^(+)gtO_(2)gtO_(2)^(-)gtO_(2)^(-2)` Magnetic PROPERTIES `O_(2)^(+)` is para `O_(2)` is para, `O_(2)^(-)` para `O_(2)^(-2)` is DIA
