The bond order of $O_2^ + $ is the same as in

A

$N_2^ + $

B

$C{N^ - }$

C

$CO$

D

$N{O^ + }$

Solution

(a) $O_2^ + (15{e^ – }) = K{K^*}{(\sigma 2s)^2}{({\sigma ^*}2s)^2}{(\sigma 2{p_x})^2}$

${(\pi 2{p_y})^2}{(\pi 2{p_z})^2}{({\pi ^*}2{p_y})^1}{({\pi ^*}2{p_z})^0}$

Hence, bond order $ = \frac{1}{2}(10 – 5) = 2.5$$N_2^ + (13{e^ – }) = K{K^*}{(\sigma 2s)^2}{({\sigma ^*}2s)^2}{(\sigma 2{p_x})^2}$

${(\pi \,2{p_y})^2}{(\pi \,2{p_z})^1}$

Hence, bond order $ = \frac{1}{2}(9 – 4) = 2.5$.
