Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (a) O2(16):KK(σ2s)2(σ2s)2(σ2pz)2(π2px)2

$(\pi 2 p_y)^{2},(\pi^{} _2 p_y)^{1}=(\pi^{} _2 p_x)^{1}$, B.O.: 2

O2+(15): Remove one electron from π2py from

O2, B.O.: 2.5

O2(17):KK(σ2s)2(σ2s)2(σ2pz)2(π2px)2

(π2py)2,(π2px)2(π2py)1, B.O.: 1.5

O22(18):KK(σ2s)2(σ2s)2(σ2pz)2(π2px)2 (π2py)2,(π2px)2(π2py)2

Since, the bond length decreases as the bond order increases, hence, O2+have least bond length.
