Detailed Solution

O2(8+8=16)=σls2,σ1*s2,σ2s2,σ*2s2,σ2pz2(π2px2π2py2)(π*2px1π*2py1)

 Bond order =10-62=2

Similarly, O2+(8+8-1=15)

BO=10-52=2.5

 O2-(8+8+1=17),BO=10-72=1.5

 O22-(8+8+2=18)BO=10-82=1

∴ Bond order ∝1 bondlength 

Thus, O2+ has the minimum bond length as its bond order is maximum.
