The orbital potential energies for the 4s and 4p of Br are -18.65 ev and -12.49ev, respectively. Recall that the H 1s is -13.61ev. The MO diagram for HBr is not exactly the same as HF. Draw the MO diagram for HBr, including energy levels, each orbitals shape, each orbitals character (meaning what atomic orbitals contribute to each M.O. and how much), symmetry labels (e.g. and , * and *), indicate the HOMO and LUMO, the bond order (show your work), whether the molecule is paramagnetic or diamagnetic. Now write a couple paragraphs comparing and contrasting the MO diagrams of HF and HBr in great detail (this last part is worth 50% of the points).
According to question,
The P.E. of 4s and 4 p orbital of Br atom is -18.56 ev and -12.49 ev respectively
The P.E of H atom is _13.61 ev.
The molecular orbital diagram of HBr and HF is as follows with their bond order and magnetic behaviour.
