3. (9 points) Using MO theory, draw the MO diagrams for the following three species. You may omit the s electrons. Predict which species has the strongest and weakest bond. (Fun fact: the species that has the weakest bond is quite reactive. Our bodies actually make use of it to kill pathogens.) O2+, O2 , O2-

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) $\mathrm{He}_{2}^{+} ;(\mathrm{b}) \mathrm{CN} ;(\mathrm{c}) \mathrm{HeH}^{+}$.
For the NO ion, please draw its Lewis structure; (b) prepare a molecular orbital (MO) energy-level diagram, and use sketches to show clearly how the atomic orbitals interact to form MOs; determine the bond order and whether it is diamagnetic or paramagnetic; predict and explain the product from the reaction of a proton (H+) with cyanide ion using its MO diagram.

Use MO theory to predict the MO diagram, the number of bonds, and the number of unpaired electrons in the nitrosyl ion, $\mathrm{NO}^{+} .$
