Draw and label the complete $\mathrm{MO}$ energy level diagrams for the following species. For each, determine the bond order, predict the stability of the species, and predict whether the species will be paramagnetic or diamagnetic. (a) $\mathrm{He}_{2}^{+} ;(\mathrm{b}) \mathrm{CN} ;(\mathrm{c}) \mathrm{HeH}^{+}$.
