Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The molecular orbital diagram for the O₂^2- molecular ion in its ground state indicates that the highest energy electrons are in the antibonding sigma (σ*) orbital between the O 2p and S 3p orbitals, which is represented by the lobe in the bottom left and top right corners of MO C.
