An energy level scheme for the orbitals of second row diatomic molecules O2 through Ne2 , lists the molecular orbitals in the following order of increasing energy 2s < *2s < 2p(z) < 2p(y) , 2p(x) < *2p(y) , *2p(x) < *2p(z)
Based on this energy level scheme, how many unpaired electrons are in all of the antibonding molecular orbitals of the O2- ion in its ground state?
A) 1
B) 2
C) 3
D) 4
E) 5
