Using MO theory, predict which of the following species has the shortest bond length?

  • O22+

  • O2+

  • O2-

  • O22-


A.

O22+

MO configuration for O2 is σ1s2σ*1s2σ2s2σ*2s2σ2pz2 ,π2px2  π2py2 , π*2px1  π*2py1

Thus bond order 12 (10-6) = 2 of O2

Bond order of O210 - 42 = 3

Bond order of O2+ = 10 - 52 = 2.5

                    O2- = 10 - 72 = 1.5

                   O22- = 10 - 82 = 1

Since bond order in inversely related to bond length, O22+ with the highest bond order of 3 has the shortest bond length.
