Question

Calculate the number of unpaired electrons in O2+ and O2^2- ions by drawing molecular orbital diagrams.

Answer 1

hope this help you ::::::::::::::

Answer 2

Answer:

Electronic configuration, O=1s²2s²2p⁴

Now,

O2+ = 1s²2s²2p³

O2^2- = 1s²2s²2p6

Therefore, unpaired electron of O2+ = 1

Unpaired electron of O2- = 0
