Problem 73E
Consider the H2+ ion. (a) Sketch the molecular orbitals of the ion and draw its energy-level diagram. (b) How many electrons are there in the H2+ ion? (c) Draw the electron configuration of the ion in terms of its MOs. (d) What is the bond order in H2+? (e) Suppose that the ion is excited by light so that an electron moves from a lower-energy to a higher-energy MO. Would you expect the excited-state H2+ ion to be stable or to fall apart? Explain.
