The iodine bromide molecule, !Br, is an interhalogen compound. Assume that the molecular orbitals of !Br are analogous to the homonuclear diatomic molecule F2. (a) Which valence atomic orbitals of I and of Br are used to construct the MOs of !Br? (b) What is the bond order of the !Br molecule? (c) One of the valence MOs of !Br is sketched below. Why are the atomic orbital contributions to this MO different in size? (d) What is the label for the MO? (e) For the IBr molecule, how many electrons occupy the MO?
