Withe the help of molecular energy level diagram compare the stability, magnetic behavior of $O_{2}^{2 -}, N O$ .

Open in App

Solution

stability decreases as the number of electrons increases in anti bonding orbitals. So $O_{2}^{- 2}$ is less stable than NO and both are paramagnetic because they contain unpaired electrons in the orbitals.
