    During change of \[{{O}_{2}}\] to \[{{O}_{2}}^{-}\] ion, the electron adds on which one of the following orbitals?

    A) \[\overset{*}{\mathop{\pi }}\,-orbital\]

    B) \[\pi -orbital\]

    C) \[\overset{*}{\mathop{\sigma }}\,-orbital\]

    D) \[\sigma -orbital\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    During change of \[{{O}_{2}}\] to ,the \[O_{2}^{-}\] the electronic configuration of \[{{O}_{2}}\] \[\left( total\,{{e}^{-}}=16 \right)\]
    \[\sigma \left( 1{{s}^{2}} \right),\overset{*}{\mathop{\sigma }}\,\left( 1{{s}^{2}} \right),\sigma \left( 2{{s}^{2}} \right),\overset{*}{\mathop{\sigma }}\,(2{{s}^{2}}),\sigma \left( 2p_{z}^{2} \right)\]
    \[\pi \left( 2p_{x}^{2} \right)\approx \left( 2p_{y}^{2} \right),\overset{*}{\mathop{\pi }}\,\left( 2p_{x}^{1} \right)\approx \overset{*}{\mathop{\pi }}\,\left( 2p_{y}^{1} \right)\] and configuration of \[O_{2}^{-}\] ,\[\left( total\,{{e}^{-}}=17 \right)\]
    \[\sigma \left( 1{{s}^{2}} \right),\overset{*}{\mathop{\sigma }}\,\left( 1{{s}^{2}} \right),\sigma \left( 2{{s}^{2}} \right),\overset{*}{\mathop{\sigma }}\,(2{{s}^{2}}),\overset{*}{\mathop{\sigma }}\,\left( 2p_{z}^{2} \right),\pi \left( 2p_{x}^{2} \right)\] \[\approx \pi \left( 2p_{y}^{2} \right),\overset{*}{\mathop{\pi }}\,\left( 2p_{x}^{2} \right)\approx \overset{*}{\mathop{\pi }}\,\left( 2p_{y}^{1} \right)\] Thus, electron goes in the\[\overset{*}{\mathop{\pi }}\,\], -orbital.
