Interpretation Introduction

To determine:

The bond order for the species: ${\text{O}}_{\text{2}}^{\text{2-}}{\text{, O}}_{\text{2}}^{\text{-}}{\text{, O}}_{\text{2}}{\text{, O}}_{\text{2}}^{\text{+}}{\text{, O}}_{\text{2}}^{\text{2+}}$ and list them in order of increasing bond energy and increasing bond length.
