How is the sequence of energy levels of molecular orbitals written in case of heavier diatomic molecules?

Answer»

Solution :For heavier DIATOMIC molecules , the ORDER of energy levels of `sigma_(2)p_(z) , pi_(2)p_(X), pi_(2)p_(y)` is reversed , (i.e.) `sigma_(2)p_(z)` has lesser energy than `pi_(2)p_(x)` and `pi_(2)p_(y)`.
HENCE , the order of increasing energies of Mos is , `sigma_(1S) lt sigma_(as)^(**) lt sigma_(2s) lt sigma_(2s)^(**) lt sigma_(2)p_(z) lt pi_(2)p_(x) = pi_(2)p_(y) lt pi_(2)^(**) p_(x) = pi_(2)^(**)p_(y) lt sigma_(2)p_(z)`.
