Ans: Option (ii)
The electronic configurations and the bond orders of the given species are given below:
Bond order of O2 - : σ1s2 σ∗1s2 σ2s2 σ∗2s2 σ2p2z (π2p2x = π2p2y) (π∗2p1x= π∗2p1y)
Bond order = ( Nb- Na)
BO= (10-7)= = 1.5
Bond order of O2 + : σ1s2 σ∗1s2 σ2s2 σ∗2s2 σ2p2z (π2p2x = π2p2y) (π∗2p1x= π∗2p0y)
Bond order = (10-5)= =2.5
Bond order of O2 : σ1s2 σ∗1s2 σ2s2 σ∗2s2 σ2p2z (π2

He2 has zero bond order hence it does not exist.
The three fundamental laws of chemistry are - Law of Definite Proportions, Law of Conservation of Mass, and Law of Multiple Proportions.
The three types of chemical bonds are - ionic, metallic and covalent bonds. When the electrons transfer between the atoms, they form the Ionic bonds by producing charged ions that are attracted to each other. When atoms share electrons, covalent bonds are created. When metal atoms share a sea of delocalized electrons, metallic bonds get created.
