Using the molecular orbital energy ordering for second-row homonuclear diatomic molecules in which the 20 orbitals lie at a l

Using the molecular orbital energy ordering for second-row homonuclear diatomic molecules in which the 20 orbitals lie at a lower energy than the 02p, draw the MO energy diagrams and predict the bond order in a molecule or ion with each number of total valence electrons. Will the molecule or ion be diamagnetic or paramagnetic? a) 6 valence electrons b) 9 valence electrons c) 12 valence electrons

Note that the molecules/ions given are not necessarily homonuclear molecules. They can be heteronuclear molecules as well. Also, they can be cationic or anionic. Please see the attached solution:

The * marked MO's are antibonding in nature, while others are bonding in nature.

If all the elctrons are paired, than the molecule/ion is diamagnetic, else paramagnetic.

Consider the molecular orbital diagram shown below, a diagram that is often applied to the first row diatomic molecules. Note that this diagram comprises orbitals derived from the n = 2 valence shell of orbitals (2s and 2p). Use this diagram to determine (1) if the following diatomic molecules or ions will be diamagnetic (all electrons paired) or paramagnetic (one or more unpaired electrons), and (2) for paramagnetic species, the number of unpaired electrons.O2, N2, CO, NO, NO-, NO+, CN-,...
