The species, which has the bond order same as that of F ₂ molecule is
Options
- AO ₂⁺
- BO ₂²⁻
- CO ₂
- DN ₂⁺
Correct answer
B. O ₂²⁻
Step-by-step solution
MO for the fluorine molecule, the 14 valence electrons of the fluorine atoms fill 4 bonding and 3 anti-bonding orbital thus bond order is 1 . Bond order = bonding electrons - anti - bonding electrons 2 In the same way O ₂²⁻ has 2 (6)+2=14 e⁻ So, bond order is 1 .
