Note :
(1)
Bond strength
∝ Bond order
(2)
Bond length
∝ Bondorder1

N
b = No of electrons in bonding molecular orbital
N
a = No of electrons in anti bonding molecular orbital
(4)
upto 14 electrons, molecular orbital configuration is
Here N
a = Anti bonding electron
= 4 and N
b = 10
(5)
After 14 electrons to 20 electrons molecular orbital configuration is - - -
Here N
a = 10
and N
b = 10
In O atom 8 electrons present, so in O
2, 8
× 2 = 16 electrons present.
Then in
O2+ no of electrons = 15
in
O2− no of electrons = 17
in
O22− no of electrons = 18
∴ Molecular orbital configuration of O
2 (16 electrons) is
σ1s2σ1s2∗ σ2s2σ2s2∗ σ2pz2π2px2=π2py2π2px1∗=π2py1∗
∴N
a = 6
N
b = 10
∴ BO =
21[10−6]=2
Molecular orbital configuration of O
2+ (15 electrons) is
σ1s2σ1s2∗σ2s2σ2s2∗σ2pz2π2px2=π2py2π2px1∗=π2pyo∗
∴ N
b = 10
N
a = 5
∴ BO =
21[10−5] = 2.5
Molecular orbital configuration of
O2− (17 electrons) is
σ1s2σ1s2∗σ2s2σ2s2∗σ2pz2π2px2=π2py2π2px2∗=π2py1∗
∴ N
b = 10
N
a = 7
∴ BO =
21[10−7] = 1.5
Molecular orbital configuration of O
22− (18 electrons) is
σ1s2σ1s2∗σ2s2σ2s2∗σ2pz2π2px2=π2py2π2px2∗=π2py2∗
∴ N
b = 10
N
a = 8
∴ BO =
21 [ 10
− 8] = 1
As Bond strength
∝ Bond order so, correct order is
O22−<O2−<O2<O2+
