H-He-H2+ is a linear trinuclear ion with the He occupying the central position, and the two hydrogens occupying the terminal positions. Build a reasonable qualitative molecular orbital diagram for this ion. The relative energies for the 1s orbitals of H and He are as follows: 1s(H): -13.61eV; 1s(He): -24.59 eV.
