Write the molecular orbital electronic configuration for carbon monoxi

1.	Write the molecular orbital electronic configuration for carbon monoxide molecule. Calculate its bond order and comment on its magnetic property.
Answer» SOLUTION :`sigma1s^(2) sigma^() 1s^(2) sigma 2s^(2) sigma^() 2 s^(2) pi 2 px^(2)=pi 2 py^(2)` bond ORDER `=(N_(B)-N_(A))/2=1/2(8-4)=2` Since there are no UNPAIRED electron it is diamagnetic in nature.
