Chapter 11, Problem 34E

For each of the species ${\text{C}}_2^{+}\text{,}{\text{O}}_2^{-}\text{,}{\text{F}}_2^{+}$ , and ${\text{NO}}^{+}$ ;

a. Write the molecular orbital occupancy diagram (as in Example 11-6).

b. Determine the bond order, and state whether you expect the species to be stable or unstable.

c. Determine if the species is diamagnetic or paramagnetic; and if paramagnetic, indicate the number of unpaired electrons.
