(B) According to $M.O.T.$ (Molecular Orbital Theory):$O_2$ ($16$ electrons): $\sigma 1s^2, \sigma^* 1s^2, \sigma 2s^2, \sigma^* 2s^2, \sigma 2p_z^2, \pi 2p_x^2 = \pi 2p_y^2, \pi^* 2p_x^1 = \pi^* 2p_y^1$. Unpaired electrons $= 2$.$O_2^{-}$ ($17$ electrons): $\sigma 1s^2, \sigma^* 1s^2, \sigma 2s^2, \sigma^* 2s^2, \sigma 2p_z^2, \pi 2p_x^2 = \pi 2p_y^2, \pi^* 2p_x^2 = \pi^* 2p_y^1$. Unpaired electrons $= 1$.$NO$ ($15$ electrons): $\sigma 1s^2, \sigma^* 1s^2, \sigma 2s^2, \sigma^* 2s^2, \sigma 2p_z^2, \pi 2p_x^2 = \pi 2p_y^2, \pi^* 2p_x^1$. Unpaired electrons $= 1$.$CN^{-}$ ($14$ electrons): $\sigma 1s^2, \sigma^* 1s^2, \sigma 2s^2, \sigma^* 2s^2, \pi 2p_x^2 = \pi 2p_y^2, \sigma 2p_z^2$. Unpaired electrons $= 0$.$O_2^{2-}$ ($18$ electrons): $\sigma 1s^2, \sigma^* 1s^2, \sigma 2s^2, \sigma^* 2s^2, \sigma 2p_z^2, \pi 2p_x^2 = \pi 2p_y^2, \pi^* 2p_x^2 = \pi^* 2p_y^2$. Unpaired electrons $= 0$.Thus,the species with one unpaired electron are $O_2^{-}$ and $NO$. The total number is $2$.

List-$I$ (Molecule / ion)	List-$II$ (Bond order)
$1$. $NO$	$i$. $1.5$
$2$. $CO$	$ii$. $2.0$
$3$. $O_2^{-}$	$iii$. $2.5$
$4$. $O_2$	$iv$. $3.0$

Number of molecules/species from the following having one unpaired electron: $O_2, O_2^{-}, NO, CN^{-}, O_2^{2-}$
