Interpretation Introduction

To Construct: The approximate MO diagrams for [O2]- and [O2]2- and confirm that [O2]- is paramagnetic, while [O2]2- is diamagnetic.

Concept Introduction: A molecular orbital energy level diagram is a qualitative descriptive tool explaining chemical bonding in molecules or shows the relative energies of molecular orbitals in terms of molecular orbital theory and the linear combination of atomic orbital (LCAO) method.
