Question

what is the MO configuration of o2​

Answer 1

P2 bond order = 3 (like N2) S2 bond order = 2 (like O2) Cl2 bond order = 1 (like F2) Cl2 has the weakest bond.

a bond order of 1.5.

The Lewis structures have an unpaired electron and an average bond order of 1.5. O2 has two unpaired electrons in its π* orbitals, and a bond order of 2.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Reason: According to molecular orbital theory O2+has 15 electrons &it has one electron in antibonding orbital. In the case of O2- 17 electrons are present &3 electrons are present in antibonding orbitals. If number of electrons more in antibonding orbital the molecule become unstable.
