Molecular orbital configuration of NO (15 electrons) is

${\sigma _{1{s^2}}}\,\sigma _{1{s^2}}^ * \,{\sigma _{2{s^2}}}\,\sigma _{2{s^2}}^ * \,{\sigma _{2p_z^2}}\,{\pi _{2p_x^2}}\, = \,{\pi _{2p_y^2}}\,\pi _{2p_x^1}^ * \, = \,\pi _{2p_y^o}^ *$

$\therefore\,\,\,\,$ N_b = 10

N_a = 5

$\therefore\,\,\,\,$ BO = ${1 \over 2}\left[ {10 - 5} \right]$ = 2.5

Molecular orbital configuration of $O_2^ -$ (17 electrons) is

${\sigma _{1{s^2}}}\,\sigma _{1{s^2}}^ * \,{\sigma _{2{s^2}}}\,\sigma _{2{s^2}}^ * \,{\sigma _{2p_z^2}}\,{\pi _{2p_x^2}}\, = \,{\pi _{2p_y^2}}\,\pi _{2p_x^2}^ * \, = \,\pi _{2p_y^1}^ *$

$\therefore\,\,\,\,$ N_b = 10

N_a = 7

$\therefore\,\,\,\,$ BO = ${1 \over 2}\left[ {10 - 7} \right]$ = 1.5

Molecular orbital configuration of $C_2^ {2-}$ (14 electrons) is

${\sigma _{1{s^2}}}\,\sigma _{1{s^2}}^ * \,{\sigma _{2{s^2}}}\,\sigma _{2{s^2}}^ * \,{\pi _{2p_x^2}}\, = \,{\pi _{2p_y^2}}\,{\sigma _{2p_z^2}}$

$\therefore\,\,\,\,$ N_b = 10

N_a = 4

$\therefore\,\,\,\,$ BO = ${1 \over 2}\left[ {10 - 4} \right]$ = 3

$\,\,\,$ Configuration of $He_2^ +$ (3 electrons) is = ${\sigma _{1{s^2}}}$ $\sigma _{1{s^1}}^ *$

$\therefore\,\,\,$ Bond order = ${1 \over 2}$ (2 $-$1) = 0.5

$\therefore$ Correct order is :

$He_2^ + \lt {O_2}^ - \lt NO \lt {C_2}^{2 - }$
