Question
How can we find the bond order of Mg2 ?
The energy-level diagram shown can be continued to higher
energies. The next few orbitals, in order of increasing energy,
are 038, 03*, #3p, 03p, 3p* and 03p*; in other words, the 02,
to 02* pattern is repeated.
Determine the bond order of a Mg, molecule.
