Use the molecular orbital model to fully describe the bonding in O2+, O2, O2-, and O22-.
Determine which of the following statements are true and which are false.

True or false? :

Bond length increases with increasing bond order while bond energy decreases.
The number of unpaired electrons in O2- and O2 is, respectively, 1 and 2.
 The electron configuration of O2 is (σ2s)22s*)22p)22p)42p*)1.
  The electron configuration of O2- is (σ2s)22s*)22p)22p)42p*)3.
  The bond order in O2- and O22- is, respectively, 2.5 and 1.
    The bond lengths increase in the order: O22- < O2- < O2 < O2+.
