Question:

During the change of O₂ to O₂⁻, the incoming electron goes to the orbital: σ₂pz, π₂py, π₂px, π₂px

π*₂px

π₂px

σ*₂pz

π₂py

Solution:

Solution:- (C) π₂px
Molecular orbital diagram of O₂ molecules is shown in the figure.
An incoming electron will go in π
₂px orbital since it is a half-filled orbital.
