According to molecular orbital theory which of the following statements about the magnetic character and bond order is correct regarding ${O}_2^{+}$?

(a) Paramagnetic and bond order $<\mathrm{O}_2$

(b) Paramagnetic and bond order $>\mathrm{O}_2$

(c) Dimagnetic and bond order $<\mathrm{O}_2$

(d) Dimagnetic and bond order $>\mathrm{O}_2$

SOLUTION :

$\mathrm{O}_2: \sigma 1 s^2, \sigma^{\star} 1 s^2, \sigma 2 s^2, \sigma^{\star} 2 s^2, \sigma 2 p_z^2\left\{\begin{array}{l}\pi 2 p_y^2 \\ \pi 2 p_x^2\end{array}\left\{\begin{array}{l}\pi^{\star} 2 p_y^1 \\ \pi^* 2 p_x^1\end{array}\right.\right.$

Bond order $=\frac{10-6}{2}=2.0$

Two unpaired electrons in antibonding molecular orbital.

$\mathrm{O}_2^{+}: \sigma 1 s^2, \sigma^{\star} 1 s^2, \sigma 2 s^2, \sigma^{\star} 2 s^2, \sigma 2 p_z^2$

${ \pi 2 p _ { y } ^ { 2 } }$

${ \pi 2 \dot { p } _ { x } ^ { 2 } }$

$\pi^{\star} 2 p_y^0$

$\pi^* 2 p_x^1$

Bond order $=\frac{10-5}{2}=2.5$

One unpaired electron in antibonding molecular orbital so it is paramagnetic.
