Draw the molecular orbital diagram for H2 molecule. Calculate the bond order. Draw the diagram after energy is added and one electron is found in the one electron to the sigma antibonding molecular orbital. Bond order is equal to zero. This diagram shows that when energy is added to the molecule of hydrogen it separates into two atoms of hydrogen.

Draw a molecular orbital energy level diagram for each of the following species: $\mathrm{He}_{2}, \mathrm{HHe}, \mathrm{He}_{2}^{+} .$ Compare their relative stabilities in terms of bond orders. (Treat HHe as a diatomic molecule with three electrons.)
Using the molecular orbital model, write electron configurations for the following diatomic species and calculate the bond orders. Which ones are paramagnetic? Place the species in order of increasing bond length and bond energy. $$ \text {a} \mathrm{CN}^{+} \quad \text { b. CN } \quad \text { c. } \mathrm{CN}^{-} $$
