Question

according to a M.O. theory O2+ possesses?​

Answer 1

Answer:

According to MOT O2+ have 17 electrons.

Explanation:

According to MOT

For O2+

No. of electrons : 17

Paramagnetic in nature

No. of electrons in BMO : 10

No. of electrons in ABMO : 7

Bond Order : (10-7)/2 = 1.5

Answer 2

Explanation:

According to molecular orbital Theory (MOT), there is 1 unpaired electron in the π2px antibonding orbital and another unpaired electron in π2py antibonding orbital. As molecules containing unpaired electrons are strongly attracted by magnetic field, hence oxygen has paramagnetic nature.
