Asked by Mohan Dr · 1 year ago
How does the bond order of O2^2- compare to that of O2?
1 Answer
The bond order comparison between O22- and O2:
1. O2 (oxygen molecule):
Bond order = 2
2. O22- (peroxide ion):
Bond order = 1
The bond order of O22- is lower than that of O2. This means:
- O22- has a weaker bond compared to O2
- O22- has a longer bond length than O2
- O22- is less stable than O2
