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, which statement is true about the bonds in the species, O2, O2+, O2, O22?
A) O2- has the highest bond order.
B) O22- has the highest bond order.
C) O2 has the highest bond order.
D) O2+ has the highest bond order.
E) The bond order in all these species is the same.
