Alright well I'm having a little bit of trouble with electon configuration using the molecular orbital theory. I've basically figured out how to do basic diatoms
like O2 = (?2s)2(?2s*)2(?2p)2(?2p)4(?2p*)2
and N2 = (?2s)2(?2s*)2(?2p)4(?2p)2
etc.
but how would you do something like CN ?

please *delete me*

n's are supposed to be  pi's
for pi bonds

does anyone know how to solve this?

nevermind - i got it!
CN = (?2s)2(?2s*)2(?2p)4(?2p)1

let me quiz you. Why is (1pi⁴)^b < (2?²)^b
