Use the Relative Energies of the Molecular Orbitals Given Below $\mathrm { I } _ { 2 } ^ { + }$

question 103

Essay

Use the relative energies of the molecular orbitals given below, which are derived from the n = 5 atomic orbitals, to determine the bond orders in I_{2 ,}
$\mathrm { I } _ { 2 } ^ { + }$

, and
$\mathrm { I } _ { 2 } ^ { - }$

, and identify the species that is predicted to be the most stable. The valence molecular orbitals in order of increasing energy are
