Answer» Correct Answer - A Molecular orbitals electronic configuration of these species are : `O_(2)^(-)(17e^(-))=sigma1s^(2)sigma^(**)1s^(2),sigma2s^(2)sigma^(**)2s^(2),sigma2p_(x)^(2),pi2p_(y)^(2),pi2p_(z)^(2),pi^(**)2p_(y)^(2)pi^(**)2p_(z)^(1)` `O_(2)(16e)=sigma1s^(2)sigma^(**)1s^(2),sigma2s^(2)sigma^(**)2s^(2),sigma 2p_(x)^(2),pi2p_(y)^(2),pi 2p_(z)^(2)pi^(**)2p_(y)^(1)pi^(**)2p_(z)^(1)` `O_(2)^(2-)(18e) =sigma1s^(2)sigma^(**)1s^(2),sigma2s^(2)sigma^(**)2s^(2),sigma2p_(x)^(2),pi2p_(y)^(2),pi2p_(z)^(2)pi^(**)2p_(y)^(2)pi^(**)2p_(z)^(2)` Hence, number of antibonding electrons are 7,6 and 8 respectively. |
