question 126

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 ,} I₂^, and I₂^, and identify the species that is predicted to be the most stable. The valence molecular orbitals in order of increasing energy are   *      *  *.
