Chemistry - CHEMICAL BONDING Question with Solution | TestHub

For O₂⁺, the total electrons are 15. The molecular orbital configuration is $({\sigma }_{1s}{)}^2({\sigma }_{1s}^{\ast }{)}^2({\sigma }_{2s}{)}^2({\sigma }_{2s}^{\ast }{)}^2({\sigma }_{2p_z}{)}^2({\pi }_{2p_x}{)}^2({\pi }_{2p_y}{)}^2({\pi }_{2p_x}^{\ast }{)}^1$. Bonding electrons = 10. Antibonding electrons = 5. So the answer is 105.
