When one electron is added to an oxygen molecule, asuperoxide ion (Oz) is formed. The addition of two elec-trons gives a peroxide ion (Oź ). Removal of an electronfrom O, leads to Ož.(a) Construct the correlation diagram for Oz.(b) Give the valence electron configuration for each of thefollowing species: Ož, O2, 0z, 03 .(c) Give the bond order of each species.(d) Predict which species are paramagnetic.(e) Predict the order of increasing bond dissociationenergy among the species.
