Chem 2 MO questions
« on: February 17, 2009, 03:12:18 PM »
Q#1
Describe the bonding in the He-Li+ molecule using molecular orbital theory: draw the MO diagram, determine the bond order, and predict whether or not the molecule is stable. if stable, also indicate whether the molecule would be diamagnetic (all electrons paired) or paramagnetic (unpaired electrons).

Q#2
write the molecular orbital configuration (not the MO diagram) for the CO molecule.
     for this problem, i need help on where to start. I know how to draw MO diagram for homo-molecules, i.e., O2.

thx in adv.
