For each of the species C 2 + , O 2 - , F 2 + ,

Question:

For each of the species C2+, O2-, F2+, and NO+;

(a) Write the molecular orbital occupancy diagram (as in Example 11-6).

(b) Determine the bond order, and state whether you expect the species to be stable or unstable.

(c) Determine if the species is diamagnetic or paramagnetic; and if paramagnetic, indicate the number of unpaired electrons.

Example 11-6 

Represent bonding in O2+ with a molecular orbital occupancy diagram, and determine the bond order in this ion.
