Write the increasing order of energies of molecular orbitals in various diatomic molecules of second row elements.

Answer»

The increasing order of energies of molecular orbitals for molecules (except O2 and F2) is :

σ1s < σ*1s < σ2s < σ*2s < (π2px = π2py) < σ2pz < (π*2px = π*2py) < σ*2pz

The increasing order of energy of molecular orbitals for diatomic molecules like O2 and F2 is :

σ1s < σ*1s < σ2s < σ*2s < σ2pz < (π2px = π2py) < (π*2p = π*2py) < σ*2pz
