Statement 1: ${\mathrm{O}}_2$ is paramagnetic in nature.
Statement 2: Bond order of oxygen is 2.

According to MOEC ${\mathrm{\pi }}^{*}2{\mathrm{p}}_{\mathrm{x}} \mathrm{and} {\mathrm{\pi }}^{*}2{\mathrm{p}}_{\mathrm{y}}$ contain one electron each hence, ${\mathrm{O}}_2$ is paramagnetic and has bond order equal to 2.In actual, the paramagnetic character is due to the presence of unpaired electron.
