Ch.10 - Chemical Bonding II: Molecular Shapes & Valence Bond Theory

Chapter 10, Problem 75c

Using the molecular orbital energy ordering for second-row homonuclear diatomic molecules in which the π2p orbitals lie at lower energy than the σ2p, draw MO energy diagrams and predict the bond order in a molecule or ion with each number of total valence electrons. Will the molecule or ion be diamagnetic or paramagnetic? c. 8
