or each of the following species: C2+ & O2- Write the molecular orbital energy diagram and fill in the electrons Hint: in each case, the number of valence electrons in the species is determined first; this is followed by the valence molecular orbital diagram for each species. Find the bond order and state whether the species is stable or unstable Hint: Bond order = (# of bonding e- - # of antibonding e-) ¸ 2 Determine if the species is diamagnetic or paramagnetic Hint: indicate the number of unpaired electrons
