Chapter 10, Problem 10.72QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The molecule orbital configuration of ${\text{He}}_{\text{2}}{}^{\text{+}}$ and stability of ion has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Molecular orbital theory explains about the bonding, non-bonding and anti-bonding orbitals present in molecule.  A bond is generally formed in bonding electrons that shows the maximum presence of electrons than in anti-bonding electrons.  Molecular orbital theory also explains about the magnetic properties of molecule.

To explain the electronic structure and stability of ${\text{He}}_{\text{2}}{}^{\text{+}}$
