    The document discusses molecular orbital diagrams and bonding properties of various diatomic and heteronuclear molecules: 1) O2+ has a bond order of 2.5 and is paramagnetic due to an unpaired electron. 2) B2- has a bond order of 2 and is diamagnetic with no unpaired electrons. 3) BO has a bond order of 2.5 and is paramagnetic with an unpaired electron. 4) CN+ and BN have bond orders calculated from molecular orbital diagrams but properties are not stated. 5) Delocalized electrons and band theory are discussed for explaining magnesium's electrical conductivity despite a full outer shell.

    Homonuclear Diatomic Molecules of the 2nd Period Elements

    Class Practice 1
    Petrucci Example 11-6

    Represent bonding in O2+ with a molecular orbital diagram,


    and determine the bond order in this ion. Is it diamagnetic or
    paramagnetic?

    Solution:

    • O2+: 11 valence electrons

    s2s s*2s s2pz p2px,p2py p*2px,p*2py s*2pz

    • Bond order = (8 – 3) / 2 = 2.5

    • There is an unpaired electron à O2+ is paramagnetic.

    Homonuclear Diatomic Molecules of the 2nd Period Elements


    Class Practice 2

    Represent bonding in B22- with a molecular orbital diagram,


    and determine the bond order in this ion.

    Solution:

    s*2pz

    p*2px,p*2py
    • Bond order = (6 – 2) / 2 = 2
    s2pz

    p2px,p2py • Diamagnetic (no unpaired e)

    Heteronuclear Diatomic Molecules
    Class Practice 3

    Represent bonding in BO with a molecular orbital diagram, and


    determine its bond order. Is it diamagnetic or paramagnetic?

    Solution:

    3s24s21p45s1
    ∗
    Or ( , )4

    Bond order of BO = (7 – 2) / 2
    = 2.5
    BO is paramagnetic because it
    has an unpaired electron.

    Magnesium is an excellent electrical conductor even though it has a full


    3s subshell with the electron configuration: [Ne]3s2. Use band theory to
    explain why magnesium conducts electricity.

    Solution:
    Although the band that results from the combination of 3s orbitals in
    magnesium metal is full, there is another empty band that overlaps
    this 3s band. This empty band results from the combination of 3p
    orbitals. Although it does not overlap the 3s band in the Mg2 molecule
    or in atom clusters, once the metal crystal has grown to visible size,
    the overlap is complete.
