### Understanding the Molecular Orbital (MO) DiagramA blank MO diagram is provided below. Note that the atomic orbitals are not shown here. Please answer the question below the diagram.#### MO Diagram:```σ*2p [ ] [ ]π*2p [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]σ2p [ ] [ ]π2p [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]σ*2s [ ] [ ]σ2s [ ] [ ]```#### Question:What is the bond order of dicarbon, C2?**Options:**- 0- 1- 2- 3### Explanation:The MO diagram consists of various molecular orbitals, represented as boxes arranged vertically according to their energy levels. Each box can hold up to two electrons.1. **σ2s and σ*2s:** These are the bonding and antibonding orbitals formed from the 2s atomic orbitals.2. **π2p and π*2p:** These are the bonding and antibonding orbitals formed from the 2p atomic orbitals, split into two sets of degenerate orbitals.3. **σ2p and σ*2p:** These are the bonding and antibonding orbitals formed from the σ-overlap of the 2p atomic orbitals.To answer the question, we need to calculate the bond order of C2. The bond order is defined as:\[ \text{Bond Order} = \frac{(\text{Number of bonding electrons}) - (\text{Number of antibonding electrons})}{2} \]### Calculation Steps:1. **Determine the total number of valence electrons for C2:** - Each carbon atom has 4 valence electrons. - Total valence electrons in C2: 4 + 4 = 8 electrons.2. **Fill the MO diagram with the 8 electrons:** - 2 electrons in σ2s - 2 electrons in σ*2s - 2 electrons in π2p - 2 electrons in π2p3. **Identify bonding and antibonding electrons:** - Bonding electrons: 2 (σ2s) + 2 (π2p) + 2 (π2p) = 6
