Configuration of O 2
_ 1 s 2 _ _ 1 s 2 _ 2 s 2 _ _ 2 s 2 _ 2 p z 2 � 2 p y 2 � _ 2 p x 1 � _ 2 p y 1
Bond order = N o . o f e _ i n b o n d i n g M . O _ N o . o f e _ i n a n t i b o n d i n g M . O 2
Bond order of O 2 + = 10 _ 5 2 = 2.5
Bond order of O 2 - = 10 _ 7 2 = 1.5
Bond order of O 2 2- = 10 _ 8 2 = 1
Bond order of O 2 = 10 _ 6 2 = 2
