Question

Using molecular orbital yheory compare the bond order ,bond energy,and magnetic character of o2+ and o2- species.

Answer 1

Answer:

In O

2

+

, B.O = (10−5)/2=2.5

In O

2

−

, B.o = (10−7)/2=1.5

Bond dissociation energy is directly proportional to bond order and paramagnetic character depends on unpaired electrons. O

2

+

has high dissociation energy and both are paramagnetic.
