JEE Main 2026 Chemistry question
Given below are two statements: Statement (I): The correct sequence of bond lengths in the following species is: O₂⁺ < O₂ < O₂⁻ < O₂²⁻ Statement (II): The correct sequence of number of unpaired electrons in the following species is: O₂ > O₂⁺ > O₂⁻ > O₂²⁻ In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer: (C)
Solution
Bond orders are O₂⁺ 2.5, O₂ 2, O₂⁻ 1.5, O₂²⁻ 1, so bond length increases in that order (Statement I true). Unpaired
