$N_2^{2-}: \sigma_{1s}^2, \sigma^*_{1s}{^2}, \sigma_{2s}^2, \sigma^*_{2s}{^2}, \sigma_{2p_z}^2, [\pi_{2p_x}^2 = \pi_{2p_y}^2], [\pi^*_{2p_x}{^1} = \pi^*_{2p_y}{^1}]. 	ext{ B.O.} = \frac{10 - 6}{2} = 2 	ext{ (paramagnetic)}.$
$O_2^{2-}: \sigma_{1s}^2, \sigma^*_{1s}{^2}, \sigma_{2s}^2, \sigma^*_{2s}{^2}, \sigma_{2p_z}^2, [\pi_{2p_x}^2 = \pi_{2p_y}^2], [\pi^*_{2p_x}{^2} = \pi^*_{2p_y}{^2}]. 	ext{ B.O.} = \frac{10 - 8}{2} = 1 	ext{ (diamagnetic)}.$
$O_2: \sigma_{1s}^2, \sigma^*_{1s}{^2}, \sigma_{2s}^2, \sigma^*_{2s}{^2}, \sigma_{2p_z}^2, [\pi_{2p_x}^2 = \pi_{2p_y}^2], [\pi^*_{2p_x}{^1} = \pi^*_{2p_y}{^1}]. 	ext{ B.O.} = \frac{10 - 6}{2} = 2 	ext{ (paramagnetic)}.$
