$\begin{array}{rl}& {\mathrm{O}}_2(\sigma 1s{)}^2{\left({\sigma }^{\ast }1s\right)}^2(\sigma 2s{)}^2{\left({\sigma }^{\ast }2s\right)}^2{\left(\sigma 2p_z\right)}^2\left(\pi 2p_x^2=\pi 2p_y^2\right)\\ & \left({\pi }^{\ast }2p_x{}^1={\pi }^{\ast }2p_y^1\right)\end{array}$ Thus, there are total 6 electrons in antibonding orbitals
