Chapter 11.3, Problem 11.3BFP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether two ${\text{He}}^{+}$ ions form ${\text{He}}_2{}^{2+}$ or not is to be determined. Also, it's bond order and electronic configuration is to be written.

Concept introduction:

A molecular orbital diagram is a tool that is used to describe the chemical bonding formed between different molecules. It is used to predict the bond strength and the electronic transitions that a molecule can undergo.
