Determine the bond order in a molecule or ion with 10 valence electrons.

Below is to complete the cuestion:

Using te molecular orbital energy ordering for second-row homonuclear diatomic molecules in which pie 2 p orbitals lie at a higher energy than the o 2p. Predict the bond order in a molecule or ion with each of the following numbers of total valence electrosn (use the drawing MO energy diagrams) and will the molecule be diamagnetic or paramagnetic.

bond order for 10 valence electrons

bond order for 12 valence electrons

bond order for 13 valence electrons

bond order for 14 valence electrons

Below is the answers:

a) B. O. = 3 & diamagnetic

b) B. O. = 2 & paramagnetic

c) B. O. = 1.5 & paramagnetic

d) B. O. = 1 & diamagnetic
