Which of the following options represents the correct bond order?
A
O₂²⁻ > O₂ > O₂²⁺
B
O₂⁻ < O₂ < O₂⁺
C
O₂⁻ > O₂ < O₂⁺
D
O₂⁻ < O₂ > O₂⁺
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
The bond order is determined by the number of bonding and antibonding electrons. O₂⁻ < O₂ < O₂⁺ represents the correct increasing order of bond order.
