So far, we have mostly looked at using molecular orbital diagrams for "homodiatomic" 2p molecules (both atoms are the same, like H2, N2, F2, 2p etc). But they can also be used for "heterodiatomic" molecules (two different atoms, like CO, NO, CN', etc). The MO diagram looks a little different because the two sides (the atomic orbitals) are shifted, but you can use it 2s the same way. 2s NO On the MO diagram above, fill in the correct number of valence electrons for NO. а. b. Based on the MO diagram, is NO paramagnetic or diamagnetic? How many unpaired electrons are there? C. What's the bond order between nitrogen and oxygen in NO?
