According to molecular orbital (MO) theory, the twelve outermost electrons in the O2 molecule are
distributed as follows:
12 in bonding MOS, 0 in antibonding MOS.
10 in bonding MOS, 2 in antibonding MOS.
O9 in bonding MOS, 3 in antibonding MOS.
8 in bonding MOS, 4 in antibonding MOS.
7 in bonding MOS, 5 in antibonding MOS.
a. Draw a molecular orbital diagram for the valence electrons in the helium-hydrogen diatomic (HeH).
b. Label the 2 molecular orbitals as either bonding or antibonding and describe the key differences between these types of molecular orbitals in terms of electron density.
c. Calculate the bond order of HeH based on your molecular orbital diagram.
d. Do you expect the bond length in the cation HeH+ to be longer or shorter than in a neutral HeH? Justify your answer based on the molecular orbital diagram and bond order for both species.
I. Draw the molecular orbital diagram for the valence
electrons in the generic, diatomic ion X22+. Each neutral
atom of X contains 5 valence electrons. Use the
"reversed" energy ordering (for B2, C2, N2) where o2p is
higher in energy than n2p. The diagram has been started
for you below. Label all molecular orbitals.
