Compare the relative stability of the following species and indicate their magnetic properties: O_(2), O_(2)^(+), O_(2)^(-) (superoxide), O_(2)^(2-) (peroxide)

Compare the relative stability of the following species and indicate t

1.	Compare the relative stability of the following species and indicate their magnetic properties: O_(2), O_(2)^(+), O_(2)^(-) (superoxide), O_(2)^(2-) (peroxide)
Answer» SOLUTION :`O_(2) ` - BOND order = 2 paramagnetic `O_(2)^(+)` - Bond order = 2.5, paramagnetic `O_(2)^(-)` - Bond order = 1.5, paramagnetic `O_(2)^(2-)` - OND order = 1, diamagnetic Order of relative STABILITY is: `UNDERSET((2.5))(O_(2)^(+))gtunderset((2.0))(O_(2))gtunderset((1.5))(O_(2)^(-))gtunderset((1))(O_(2)^(2-))`
