The bond order for O2 and the hypothetical molecules N2- and O2+ will follow the trend :
N2- = O2+ > O2
Bond order = (Nb - Na)/2 (valence MOs)
O2 (12 valence e): (8 - 4)/2 = 2
O2+ (11 valence e): (8 - 3)/2 = 2.5
N2- (11 valence e): (8 - 3)/2 = 2.5
Trend: N2- = O2+ > O2
Removing an electron from an antibonding π* orbital of O2 raises its bond order, while the extra electron in N2- enters an antibonding π* orbital and lowers the bond order of N2 from 3 to 2.5, so both ions end up equal and above neutral O2.
Hence, N2- = O2+ > O2.
