Based on Molecular Orbital Theory, what is the bond order of O2+? Please use a molecular orbital diagram to illustrate the idea.
Added by Regina W.
Step 1
First, we need to determine the number of electrons in O2+. Oxygen normally has 8 electrons, but since O2+ has a positive charge, it means it lost one electron. Therefore, O2+ has 7 electrons. Show more…
